Just spoke to Tony and its sounding like it'll be a wee bit muddier than May!![]()
On the demo front, Jon and I are going to be doing a Bush welding basics for beginners session on Sunday. This is not a welding master class, it's a scratch and sniff for people who have never had a go and would like to understand a bit about what's involved. We will not be doing overhead, vertical, or coded stuff. Obviously we could if we wanted to.
There are other welders going to be there so please do come and lend a hand. We will have a MIG and my absolute basic buzz box with a bunch of rods. We'd recommend getting a MIG really, but for those crossing continents, you are more likely to come across a stick set in a shack somewhere on the trail than you are anything else, other than gas perhaps.
We'll have so odd bits of metal to have a crack on, but we aren't teaching fabrication or anything advanced. Should you happen to have access to a welding mask it might be worth chucking it in so that you can watch safely. We'll only be taking small groups, say 5 at a time and then you can have a go yourselves. We''ll cover some of the basic principles that will easy your passage into the world of welding. If you can already weld, I can guarantee that you are NOT going to learn anything in my session! I don't even use stick anymore.
Can we just have a bit of a show of hands if you haven't already as to who is interested?
Ben, if you turn up - you are running the session!
