Hi all,
I'm Louis, totally new to welding and I'm interested in taking it up as a hobby,I'm a former joiner with over 15 years experience working with my hands however I'm now a stay at home dad and in my spare time I fix up old bicycles.
I'm keen to build some custom sidecars and trailers for the bicycles I get as I have young kids to haul about and have fun with, I plan on using the steel tubes that you can buy from a well known large DIY chain.
Thickness of 1-3 mm.
So in short where do I start with machine choice please?
I have a budget of around £150-£250 for a setup
Many thanks in advance,
Louis
