Anyone in the Windsor area have a portable welder, and knows how to use it.?
I'm fixing up a couple of things on the caravan and need to spot weld (lock up) a handful of bolts.

turn it up to :burn ababy burn" and shut your eyes and poke it at the bit you wanna weld.
once finished, open eyes and see if bolt is still there, or melted to nothing

Got a decent Mig you can borrow...for as long as you want, its even in team colours but I don't have time to get out there & help in the next few weeks.... I am swamped atm.
Its loaded up on a trolley with a fresh bottle of argo
I also have access to Tig & a swag of stick welders of various sizes.

Failing the good looking ones offer before me

and if you're up our way you can have mine, it's an Ozito gassless mig welder.
I'm worst in using it, than riding a bike

No, I was hoping you would fetch Robs

Or get Frank to pick it up on 'his' way over

I've got an Aldi special stick welder still in it's box. It's only a little thing but ought to be just fine for a couple of spot welds.
However getting P4nza to do it would probably be safer.
