Hi from Flintshire,N Wales.

Hey guys, Hows things?

I just joined the forum and reading through some posts of interest, some cracking projects on here. I paul, I work fulltime for royalmail, but I'm starting a One day a week night MIG welding course in Capenhirst (sp?) near Ellesmere port in September, I cant wait, Thinks it's costing arouns £250 for 12 weeks at Level 1, then I will see how it goes and move onto Level 2 the following year.
I have 2 project cars here, both Peugeot 205's, One graphite grey track biased (using as daily driver at the moment) the other a White project restoration road car, I have a few jobs to do on each and would like to include some bracing and more roll cage triangulation.
I have hade some limited experiance using a SIP gassless MIG, It didnt go well and turned out with rubbish welds and a anoying sticking welder problem, iam on the look out for a Clarke turbo mig to get me through the course and sort my two cars out.

Thats all for now, look forward to reading the information on the forum.

Regards.

Paul.

Howdy neighbour!

.......I must admit to being a bit shocked at how expensive a welding course is these days.

Hi Debs, how are you?:-)

Welcome...I did the course at West Cheshire College. I did C&G Level 1 MIG

how did it go, Did you learn what you needed to & did you enrol on level 2?

I had a very basic idea of welding (i mean basic) and now after the course i feel much more confident now. Im thinking of Level 2.
I did manage to get some TIG and ARC training as well but concentrated on MIG as that what i enroled to do.
We did:
Lines on metal plate
Outside corner weld
Horizontal vertical weld in the flat
Horizontal vertical weld in the V angle
and overlap weld

ive asked for details of level 2.
