Welding Courses

[Dead Eye]

Thanks a lot everyone for your comments so far

Looks like MIG welding may be the better option for my general use. Cost wise they seem to ramp up quite quickly and the majority of the gas supplies seem to be disposable bottles now. I briefly looked for a gas supplier but the suppliers no longer list the refillable bottles and only offer the disposable stuff. I understand you can do gasless MIG welding but most of what I've read suggests that you can get tidier welds with a gas supply.

For now, I think I'll have to bookmark a lot of this information and wait until I can afford to buy the equipment (I prefer to buy decent stuff straight away instead of buying twice later on) and then practice by myself.

I'd definitely be getting a decent welders mask as my eyesight is bad enough already without destroying it further Oh and definitely some decent protective gear as I've had more than enough experience with fire :lol
