Welders Wanted - 00111001 - 23 July 2012
Welders Wanted! Well, only one welder is wanted, to weld for me.
I've got a couple of the empty calorgas cannisters kicking around, and I wanted to convert one into a wood burner. Not being allowed anywhere near anything petrol powered for cutting, or anything hot I'm kind of stuck. Is there anyone down south (Southampton area) who has an angle grinder and can weld? I'm happy to cough up some wonga etc.
Cheers

Aye, I've got a frontier stove which I use in the bell-tent, but I'm after something I can leave in situ in the garden or move inside should I be without heating.
If I had a welder and angle grinder I'd give it a go myself, I want to incorporate a hot water tank & a flat surface for cooking (which is why it'll live next to the BBQ) but I'm a bit dangerous when it comes to powertools anyway, let alone an angle-grinder and a mig/tig welder...

Ring round a few welders in your area. They're cheaper than you think, I had a chap come to the house to do a job and he charged £25 all in.

Thanks TOF! I never thought about going to someone professional. I better dig out the yellow pages (they do still exist right?)

Cheers Tibbs!
I've seen that before, but I've been banned from anything that involves electricity or fire or explosives. I've been really good recently, but there have been 'incidents' in the past
