  • Lidl have a welder for £80.

    I've always liked the idea of learning to weld. I'm not expecting it to be great, but will it be so shit it's unusable and a waste of £80?

    Not to state the obvious, but I'd use it to join bits of steel together. Mainly fun and practice, not for building frames anything.

  • It is a gas less welder, not great. I'd say do a college course in learning to weld. Get to play with a few setups and learn to weld.

  • Flux core is perhaps not the best process to learn to weld on because it's "too easy". Having said that, the Lidl and Aldi welders get reasonable reviews and you will no doubt be able to stick metal together, just not precision work.
