No Probs Ian, I guess we both learnt something new.
If I ignore about a quarter of what this guy say's, maybe I will come out with abit more knowledge and some basic skills that may help me to have a go at the welding component of the resto!

I'll give it a red hot go anyways!

Love to know how your master describes Mig welding...

I gather he's not a man of religion..

Funniest thing Ive heard so far today...

Now I know where I've been going wrong..

Ive been arc welding like a porn queen wanking herself...
Rapidly side to side through a small arc..
Pardon the pun

Occasionally I've thought their actions remind me of 6v wipers with a 12volt supply...
Frantic...

Can your welding teacher lay a decent weld? Might be better just to watch what he does rather than listen to his dribble. Once you get the basics of Tig/Mig/Oxy it's just knowing how to set up and practice, practice and more practice.

I wasn't talking about welding ...

Oh well, still good to know.

I hate welding, really hate it but when I was taught the old boy told me that when welding it should sound like a t shirt being ripped...thats the sign of right speed etc etc .

Think wanking and ripping t shirts and it's a good job..

Yes the sound is part of the deal, with mig anyhoo. I think a few have been practicing with the wrong stick. I can't talk, I don't mind wearing the glasses it's the shaving palms I dislike.

With all good intentions, I thought I would get stuck straight into the resto, a couple of welding lessons later and life as usual has gone off on a different tangent for abit.... Won't bore anyone with specifics, but I now have a perminant garage site for my Ruby so I can now proceed albeit slowly. With family needs comming first I decided to do the grown up thing & purchase a family home for us all, attached to the perminant shed to house Ruby in of course

.. So now that Winter has set in, and the rain continuisouly falls, resto on my train carriage on our land being put under wraps/tarps until Spring, I am now sitting each night after work reading my VW manuals in front of my Rayburn Wood Stove, & gathering as much info on DSK as I can absorb.. Thanks once again for such a fantstic site, just wanted to let everyone know I'm still around

Cheers - Del
