ky_uk 304 Posted September 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Sick of let downs so I bought myself a welding kit this could be fun!!! Link to post Share on other sites
c00k 435 Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Best way mate, do all the work your self. I thaugh my self to weld quite afew years ago. It's not to hard buddy, practice first. Practices loads. Once you think your good, Try welding two Stanley blades together. It's all about keeping the seam constant. Once you got that down and can weld thin blades together you should be quite decent at welding. ky_uk and daveyboy 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Dave_ciw 507 Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Coming on grand now bud! Chains where recently done on the car I bought. This was one of the big things that swayed me to buy it. So this is probably why I seem a little further ahead. Keep working till midnight and pissing in buckects in the workshop you will be miles ahead of me in no time hahahahahaha. Looking good mate ky_uk 1 Link to post Share on other sites
ky_uk 304 Posted September 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 First ever attempt at welding what a horror story, at least it's in place and I am no longer getting sprayed in the face with mud when using the dumper truck. Looks like I need a lot of practice!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
