    These little universal welders have changed the industry. When I started as a pipefitter 42 years ago, all we had were huge cumbersome welders. Now almost anyone can weld and every one should give it a try.
    Thanks for sharing

    a panel beater i know showed me his favourite welder. it is a baby-sized thing the size of a small handbag that can do mig and tig but he only does stick, including on car panels. he hangs it over his shoulder with his left hand on the dial. he cranks up the amps then turns it right down immediately the moment it strikes. this is now the only welder he uses.

    I recently nought a gasless welder, easy to use and so light compared to the old arc, I though the arc welder was bolted to the floor. A while ago I attended a safety course for the company I worked for, inspecting machinery prior to use. Always a tale at vocational courses, the instructor said that some welders are so bad they go over wth a caulking gun then paint over, strangely enough the weld won't crack!! until catastrophic failure.

    Great job Tim, as a wannabe farmer I love the skill / learning type videos. Keep up the great work.

    Gasless MIG is like a hot glue gun for steel. These modern inverter welders and auto-darkening helmets are a game changer compared to the old buzzboxes and flip-down shields.

    Not saying going Mig changed my life but it wasn't far off. Buying a welding jacket was also a great investment, been through countless shirts and pull overs, of which a few were burning quite well before I noticed. Also wear it when grinding. Other thing I do is wear a normal thick welding glove on my left hand and on my right hand which is my working hand a Tig welding glove. It's thinner and easier to use but don't pick up real hot metal with it. Getting in a comfortable position really helps me and resting my right arm on something stops those shakes. Been trying to find an evening course around Bairnsdale to help me actually know what I'm doing for Mig/Tig but nothing about. Hint hint TAFE.

    Brilliant video Tim, what a champion Steve is to work through the basics. I attended a Tuesday night TAFE course about 20 years ago to learn how to use a TIG/MIG welder and when I bought the farm, I bought a stick welder because they were cheap and nasty. And my welds, even though they held were equally as cheap and even nastier. I am heading out to buy a new welding set up this week. Cheers brilliant video

    Fine Vid Mr. Thompson. You are so right... Tight nuts create a good flow.... of current in welding. I also think when you have a nice machine like the Weldclass... you start thinking about all kinds of projects that you can do with it. And I believe safety does start with the right protection... those arcs really can cause a nasty sunburn.

    Thanks, Tim for a great video! Some nice very handy tips from Steve, I do use anti splatter but never thought of spraying it on the nozzle.

    Watch out for loose shorts too. Had a mate help with several hours of welding a mezzanine level for my shed. He had some serious rsy burn around his groin area.. There were some questions asked when the silly bugger turned up for his first adult movie shoot the next day!

    Nice welder, almost identicle to the esab/cigweld. A bit slack of the manufacturer to not attach the spool mount or assemble the earth lead????

    In addition, in this video, you forgot to give a plug to the welder who helped you out. It might have brought him local customers and a big smile to his face. After all, they did feed you Perhaps you did give a reference to him earlier in the video and I just forgot. Which is a reminder to look in the description for such a reference. Those points may seem pedantic, I don't mean them to since I enjoy the videos and I always learn something. Thanks.

    Good video and good kit Tim. But I must say, I am rather shocked at those fellows comments regarding your safety kit, I've always thought you a bit over-obsessive on the subject. 😉

    outside the audio is a little soft. Upgrade, edit, I don't know. Just an FYI
