top stuff, quite a few bits in there which ties in with the 'haynes welding manual' I bought. Alot of beginners info about the different types of welding and types of weld.

I've found a couple of courses which would be adequate but the cost is amazing. HSS do one either 1day for 155 quid or over 2 days at 290 + vat totalling 340 quid. I won't have any money left for equipment after that lol.

but then again, I guess if you're trained up by a qualified person the quality of the work and end result will be much higher, as opposed to friend of a friend "do anything dan" in his leaky garage who welds with rayban sunglasses instead of a helmet. Better stick some cash away
