Hi All,
Ive moved out of the hussle and bussle of central london into a house with a small outbuilding that I intend on using for workshopping purposes. Ive managed to get myself a lathe (that Im quite chuffed about) and am looking for a mini mill (if anyone has a Warco RF-30 sized machine for sale, Im interested).
While the excitment of the new gaff plus the new machine hasnt yet died down, I would quite like a way to stick metal together and Oxy-acetylene is by far my favourite method. I have a setup I can use at work, but that isnt ideal for long term and want something at home. I was wondering if anyone has ever attempted to do the same and know the pitfalls. I am aware I will have to inform my insurance, but thats a small hurdle. I was also going to inform the local fire department, as it seems like the correct thing to do.
If its all too hard, I'll get better at tig, but it doesnt have the same romance about it. Plus Im crap at tig welding. And I hate it.
