im going there this weekend for a new regulator coz i cant find mine (the working one that is ) unless anyone out there has a spare they could flog me

i dont johnny - not sure i can use this bloke now anyway as he dont deliver... thats a shame.......
another question is will i need to get another regulator if i get one of them bottles even tho i have one on for a small bottle (i believe)

Still need to figure out mig welding myself, got a clarke one that seems alright and isn't one of the ****ty gasless ones,

Never done mig welding, but I have done oxyacetylene copper brazing, does that make it any easier for me?!

nobble no.2.

bluddy hell neil your really throwing those nobbles in thick and fast lol.....
didnt win the bulkhead pipped at the last second...
only did some sanding and priming today, wanted to start seeing some results to build me back up again.... will try and take it off tomorrow and start searching for repair bits (what do you recon i gonna need)?

thats a ****ter, what did it go for?

what you gonna need? on a budget, so a big sheet of steel, a big roll of mig wire, lots of gas, lots of slitting and grinding discs for the angle grinder, a lot of patience and a limitless amount of time.
thats why i wanna see it off!

nobbles?
looked at a thread with some parrots an couldnt help noticing your quiff.....
was gonna comment on it but didnt.
so here it is

wow thats a long list.... i promise that i will have it off tomorrow... even if i have to stay out there till midnight... got to go with our lass to hospital late afternoon. but it will be off...............
lol my quif, you should have seen some of my other haircuts and colours.....
