Hiya folks..

I'm working on a fixer upper.. and through interest rate rises, material cost hikes I'm turning into a semi reluctant DIY enthusiast..

Right now - I'm wondering if anyone here can help with the following please.

1. Sandblasting (I need to remove decades of old/miscellaneous layers of paint from some cast iron railings (removing with angle
   grinders (wire brush heads) is taking to long. Will obviously
   happily pay a rental fee!).
   
2. Welding. I need help fixing a 2nd hand cement mixer.. The drum has some small holes in it.. I'm hoping someone here might know a
   cycling friendly welder? (I also need to to some welding on a bike
   component at the same time). Again - Obviously, will pay!
   
   
   
   

Finally - I'm building up all manner of tools.. so not sure if there's a tool library on here.. or anything like that.. but I'd happy to lend things out (on the proviso if broken.. they're fixed or replaced)
