Best to get someone to show him how to get started. A nice invertor set and some decent rods and a auto darkening helmet will get him started. Lidle helmet and invertor be fine but get decent rods. Welding can be a good trade or soul destroying. If you're ever down my way I'd gladly show him . Sent you a message on whattapp Steve,sorry I forgot you were a welder lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chid 6,377 Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 @Francie listen to the boys who know how to weld and do it as a job not mchull who's better than anyone at anything.. Take stevet up on the offer if he's close by it's always better to see how its done. I can weld, been doing it over 20yrs on cars, trucks, building trailers and towbars but that's totally different than the likes of what borr does .
