Hi all, haven't been here for a bit.
During the intro course I did we got a fair bit of time doing practical, but the theory took up some of the time as well.

The current course I'm doing has us...

Poking around the net it seems like a few places are doing this now.

Hi Pete, I spoke to you about that on the phone I think. All good, mate.



Anyway, I knocked over some of the theory today for TAFE. Metal properties, grain structure etc.

Very interesting...

Hi all, I'm still using this forum for info but haven't posted in a while. Haven't sorted out what's happening with the house yet so still no welding at home. Despite a lot of arguing with the mrs,...

It sounds like an easy way around it for the few months I'll need it.

Thanks for the tip, mate.

Yeah I know about that, but I don't want to do that either.

I'm just looking know about whether using a portable RCD would be any different (apart from the extra breaker) to just putting a 10amp...

That's something to consider. Does having it's own breaker mean it will trip before the house one does?

I won't be cranking the amps right up as I'll be mostly doing thin stuff, hence the focus on...

Had a go at Tig tonight. Not to bad for my first efforts I thought.

Had a couple of goes with no filler, ran a couple of beads with filler, then had a go at some butt welds:

My welder arrived today. Haven't fired it up yet but the Amp control knob feels/sounds like it's dragging when turned. Like it's hard up against something.

Thanks for the welcome, Grahame.

The course is Introduction to Welding, that's what it says on the folder they gave us anyway. It covers the basics of Oxy cutting, MIG, Stick, and TIG. Just got...

Hi all, I've been using this forum for welding info for a while and have found it to be very useful.

I've got 3 or 4 weeks left in the TAFE welding course I'm doing, it's just a basic course, but...

Thanks mate, I've noticed there's a few blokes from Newy on here.

Cheers mate. Still lurking, and still don't have a welder.

TAFE course is going good though.

Thanks fellas.

Cheers mate. I don't own a welder yet but I'm halfway through a tafe course that covers oxy cutting, mig, tig, and stick.(recommend it, it's a good course) and have my eye on a couple.
I'll no...

Hi all,
My name is Ian and I haven't worked with wood since high school.
However despite this being a wood working forum I've found the metalwork section to be miles ahead of other sites that...
