Quick and easy addition for the Tig welders on here.

Need somewhere to store your rods.

Get some poly waste pipe and a few fittings. Got a length of 32mm pipe, 4 x joiners, 4 end caps and just cut to length before pushing the joiner on and plugging with an end cap. Ten minutes, job jobbed. Total cost around a tenner.

Once I’ve organised the new garage I’ll mount them on the wall.

If I had some plastic tube I could store my rods in them, if I had any rods, must buy some rods! and then get some training, as soon as the 63amp socket goes in,

A lot of them do if you buy the full packs.
Some of them are like bug drill bit boxes, ine slid inside the other so you need 2 meters of space to get the thing apart!

These are useful and pretty cheap, extend from about 50-100cm about 9cm dia, get loads in, I stick a few bags of desiccant at the bottom, lid locks on but not air tight. Have a few with stick rods mixed in with arrows & cross bow bolts - of which I hardly use either of
