very nice mate, all types of welding and fabrication interest me, theres nothing better than the satisfaction of finishing a perfect weld would love to get a tig, but just cant justify it for just me

I bought a MIG welder 4 years ago - managed to set two cardboard boxes alight so far and thats been about it lmao

My uncle is a pro welder - has his own business and has been welding for over 40 years - he loves it.

Have to admit i fooking love welding - no where near neat enough to show people yet tho lol. Thats some really nice looking fab there.

Excellent idea for a thread

I hate welding. But still do it. Here are the towers i had to make out of 4mm in order to fit the cage into my nova a few weeks back









And some Rare "before seam sealer" pics. (Full welding not finished in these pics due to proximity to the fuel tank)









Not the neatest work but im no welder. Just knew i couldnt really be a nova enthusiast without one.

Also made a couple of inlet manifolds for my carbs... This is the neatest (after smoothing the welds). But it works and only cost about £15







Id love to have a go with a tig sometime

Tophat i made for Joe-2LT off here not bad to say he only send me a few drawing where he wanted the outlet etc to go, think it fits really well.....

Inlet I made for Fenny

Amazing work Beardy!!

[Gary_808]

Loving the Hobart! I use a Hobart beta mig 320 at work, must be nearly as old as me, but much prefer it to the new kempi rig I had too trial.

Beardy am planning on building a workshop and want to put a 2 post in there, how high would you say the walls need to be? do your cars go in to the roof section of the workshop?

[corsasport22]
