New to the forum and very new to welding.
My old man has been TIG welding for years in NZ and I had my first go last year and seem to pick it up really well.
I've moved to the UK (Hampshire) and want to get myself a small TIG for garage projects.
I'm a signwriter and do airbrushing also which I found is a simular feel to TIG.
Well I've got alot of reading to scroll through to find out what's the right welder to buy for my needs , I know I will have many questions.
Thanks, I look forward to getting to know people on here.

Cheers

Hello and welcome to the forum, tibbs!!
Wow, airbrushing...sounds interesting! Is it easy to learn or not?
And how much do you have to spend on equipment to get started?
Hehe, sorry! this is the other way around...it's not supposed to be me who's asking questions! lol

Thanks Sparkey,

airbrushings like anything, it takes practice.
You can learn it even if your not artistic or can draw.
Buying equipment is simular to welding by the sound of what I've read, there is cheap airbrushes out there but I would go for a Iwata straight away as they are pretty bullet proof.
(brush £100+ silent compressor £200 +).
There's a pretty good mag called airbrush action if your interested.

Thanks for the welcome.

Yes....but the thing is...will that be available in France too?
I'll do a google on the brand you've mentionned, Iwata...
thanks!
