:wave: I've done a bit of welding at school, gap year and uni (not for a few years now though :wack: )

Should be able to cope with MIG, stick, TIG or even brazing :smash:

I expect you'd be able to do it (I'm assuming you're using a MIG welder), once you have it setup right it's pretty easy to get reasonable results. Just get some scrap bits to practice on :)

Yeah, when do you need to do it? I'll have to persuade jade to lend me her car cuz there's no way I can spend the petrol to get to yours atm, got to keep as much cash for the holiday in a couple of weeks :)

I'm away from the 15th till the 22nd of sept so could do it the week after you get back from hol or something?

How much is a welder to hire? I would've thought if you were going to hire it then you may as well just pay someone else to do the welding :confused:

yeah thats a good time for me :)

i wouldnt of thought it would be more than £15 to hire it for a day or 1/2 a day, but i will probably be able to borrow one for free :)
