Anyone have a welder..?

Post by MadKaw »

Anyone in the Windsor area have a portable welder, and knows how to use it.?

I'm fixing up a couple of things on the caravan and need to spot weld (lock up) a handful of bolts.

turn it up to :burn ababy burn" and shut your eyes and poke it at the bit you wanna weld. :lol:

once finished, open eyes and see if bolt is still there, or melted to nothing :lol:

Failing the good looking ones offer before me ;) and if you're up our way you can have mine, it's an Ozito gassless mig welder.
I'm worst in using it, than riding a bike :roll:

I've got an Aldi special stick welder still in it's box. It's only a little thing but ought to be just fine for a couple of spot welds.

However getting P4nza to do it would probably be safer.
