welder help wanted

[TONUP]

After saving up for some time I finally bought myself a mig welder before Christmas from Machine Mart.

I have messed about with it, and managed to stick some 2mm sheet together, with some limited success, but I think I need some pointers regarding settings and wire types etc.

The welder I bought can do flux core (gasless) and gas welding. I find the gas option produces the best results, but I could do with some tuition.

Rick's offer to Zippy is great, and I would grab his hand off if I were him, but I have looked at at a night school course in West Wilts college, which is around £130.00 for a ten week introduction course.

Regards

Alan
