Hi all.

If'n you're bored and/or want a chuckle, enjoy this:

Pretty messy first few tries with flux core wire on my new Hobart MIG
welder, but once I get better lighting and start using gas, I'm sure
it will improve quickly.

Please note the creative use of a WorkMate + 2 steel shelves for work
table, and the awesome ventilation system --- ;^)

(flux core wire creates much more smoke than anticipated!)

Thanks to those who helped me out a while back with welding gear/techniques!

Neil.
