Im indending to have a little display of all the common types of welds and examples of good welds and poor welds - and the reason why...

Hopefully people would understand what a lap, butt and plugs are! :shock: :lol:

What day/s are you thinking of doing this on?? and what will the layout be?? all day as people turn up, or will there be times that demos are on etc??

And as i hope that i will be there, do you need any scrap metal bringing along for anyone to practise on, demo welds on??

Do you need helping hands or will it be smaller scale??

scraps no problem,, we have a skip full of it at the workshop,,,, as long as it goes back in the skip it doesnt matter what happens to it in the middle,,,, it still weighs the same :wink:

And that means that i will try and get there for the saturday then,, best day for me really. I may bring my mask and gear along too then, as sweaty headbands are really not for sharing,,,, :lol: :lol:
