Well, i splashed out this morning..

Got this little machine



New clarke 151en mig. Never welded before in my life LOL, so this will be interesting ;-)
Ive read a bit about them and seems to be a half decent model for home use, although not supposed to be great gasless but i will try it first and get gas a bit later.

So tomorrow i will show pics of

My new trailer, panhards, hd bumpers, recovery points, roll cage, exhaust........... hahahaha

First EVER time ive picked up a welder, mine cant be that bad surely for first time?? LOL



Was done on gasless mig so if its "messy" like gasless is supposed to be then im happy enough with that if it got tidyer with gas.... Bonus!











Some penetration




Started off too hot, so turned it down a bit....

Cheers mate, im thinking about it.... get them on a bit quicker if i make some up.

Need to have a bit measure up and see what size joints, tube etc id need?? Any ideas lol

ORA ones are 6mm!! wall tube, thats pretty hefty isnt it!

Also, if your using a tube with rose joints are you welding in a threaded insert or a nut on the end like others do?

im not sure how much longer they need to go either, with a 3" lift how much longer do the panhards need to be.... confusing lol!
