Default Re: Beginners welder

I wouldn't start with a stick welder - bloody hard work to get the hang of! especially if no one to offer help / assistance to get going.

With Bibio on this - find a decent large'ish 2nd hand unit and a friendly pub landlord to get gas from. The advantage of the cheap Machine mart welders is the easy access to disposable bottles.

Had a nightmare getting hold of gas bottles, all suppliers up here want rental & delivery etc - costs a fortune.
