Haha, this thread certainly cheered me up this morning
Welding is something I've always wanted to learn, but I'm a menace with a soldering iron so it's probably something I should steer clear from. That weld may not be the best, but at least you managed to get the two pieces attached (whereas I would have set fire to them and the rest of the house most likely

).
Practice makes perfect though, so keep going and you'll be everyones best friend at MOT time

I call shotgun for Raves welding services (after a little more practice

).
Good thread
