Welding master lass for beginners...

Anyone in the midlands fancy teaching me
I'd quite like to learn how to weld. I think it would be useful in many ways
Prety pleaseeeee

Click on the link in me siggy, lots of tips and advice on there to get you started. Buy a mig. Gather up as much scrap metal as you can find, and practise running lines of weld on it. You should just see the line of the weld, on the back of the metal, but not break thru. The weld should look like thousands of letter C's joined together. Once you're happy with that start practising welding 2 bits of metal together. start by laying one piece over the other (Lap weldingf) then place em side by side (Butt welding) The more you practise the better you'll get.

stafford any use ? pm me if yer stuck with awt

I have been welding with the Mig for a good while now and it really is just practice.

Hehe just bought one/buying one. I shall be calling myself mr migmunky and botching vehicles in the local area to make them unsafe and fail mots. Happy to teach you how to turn a perfectly safe vehicle into a death trap

I would show you but I'm in Newcastle mate

best way to learn if you've already got a mig is to just get a load of scrap in various thicknesses and practise on them.
up until a few months ago i had never used a mig before, and i've just finished welding in the O/S footwell today already done the N/S footwell few weeks ago and i'm now on to patching the rest of the bulkhead.
practise makes perfect

Amen brother!

I got me a C&G certificate, and several other bits of toilet roll, from the training centre at Catterick Garrison. I could weld love letters onto old Coronation street tins the alternative was to do up the trainers limitless supplies of Capri's and Escort's.
