Welcome, Kev,

You've picked a good spot. There's tons of great information to be had here, free of charge and fee of drama.

There are people here at every experience level, and form almost any field you can imagine from metal artist to aerospace welder, and everything in between. All with the goal of helping each other learn something new.

Welcome to the forum!
You Kiwi's must be really tired of us ozzies unfurling the same old worn out ribbing we give you at every available opportunity.
I don't know what's wrong with us why we do it. It must be in our dna or something. Even now I find myself suppressing the urge to indulge. And you guys are just about always good natured about it.
Well done, and let's get welding!

+1.

And so many Kiwis are heroes of mine. Burt Munro, Bruce Anstey and especially Jon Britten. Genuine legends.
