Welding Tips and Tricks

Hi all,


Just signed up after watching Jody's vids for the past couple years. What a massive help they have been. Takes away 90% of the fumbles involved in picking up a new skill.

I'm a Plumber and did a little oxy welding of steel and even lead back in my apprenticeship, and years ago did a weekend course with coachbuilder using O/A to weld aluminium.

Bought a stick welder with lift tig capability a couple years ago and shortly after bought a mig. Last week I finally coughed up for a digital inverter ac/dc machine and damned if I'm not kicking myself for not buying one years ago.

welcome Rupes to the forum.

Welcome. Another Aussie...is this some kind of takeover?

Kym,
It would have to be a take under.

I've been on a few forums in my time, mostly motorcycling. Always a good showing of Aussies on them. I think we just sit on our arses in front of the pc a bit too much

G'day Rupes!

Another Sydneysider! Good Stuff.. Welcome mate!

Welcome to the forum. Glad to hear you finally did it. I was a 52D in the army, when on base, I made friends with the guy in the shop next to me, he was good welder, so I got to do just a little heliarc with him . Coming off Bmx bikes, I always loved the welds...that was 1987-94 . Just like you, I kick myself in the a$$ now for not getting into it sooner ...but better late than never ! Enjoy the forum, post pics and what not. Lotta helpful and very nice people on here .
