Hiya, long story short, I've decided to learn to weld as my Transit needs a fair bit done and I'd love to add welding as another string to my bow.
I have a mate up the road who's going to guide me. I have a big bottle of Argoshield so I can do loads of practice before touching the van. My mate set up the regulator and welder earlier and we had a little play. He left me to it, I shut off the main gas valve to go make some food. I come back to start "welding," and I just can't work out how to open the gas. I'd try to explain but it's a video shows it much better.
I know this is the most basic problem imaginable, but I just can't get my head round it and don't want to force anything. I'm quite a cautious guy so I'd rather get some opinions from people who do this lots.
