hi all.

im interested in welding, been trying to buy one but finances are very low,

so being the nosy little sod that i am and full of very interesting ideas i decided to make one, microwave oven transformers or batteries which ever i can afford or easiest,

I have welded before for a few years, so i know how to weld with them box thingies when you get them nice bright light thingies,,, oh and them little thin stick things,

well anyway most of the welders ive used have mostly been shop bought welders, never had to make on before, so here i am and thats me,

if you wanna know anything more pm me

I lived in Hull back in the late 80's, best fish and chips in the universe.
Home made welder sounds like a cool project.
Here is one from West Africa taken by a mate of mine http://www.johnnypayphone.net/labels/ghana.php
Spikysam, I have to pick you up on your use of technical language
'box thingies when you get them nice bright light thingies,,, oh and them little thin stick things'
Not bad but if you do it Africa style they have to be 'dis ting's
As in 'the dis ting makes that dis ting do dis ting'
