  2. As advised I've put some pics of 'Scots' machines & equipment in your gallery for you to get a rough idea of prices, I would greatly appreciate any comments. For those who don't know my situation, my husband 'scot' was killed in an accident last Sep', I'm going to start selling his much loved forging & welding stuff but don't know where to start with prices. Hopefully you can point me in the right direction. Vernet power hammer More to post later cheers, Jen.

  7. Hello Guys and Gals! I'ts been some time since I visited this site as I have been real busy working. I have a question regarding a hog rosting set up to roast a small pig over an open fire. We were thinking of using an electrical cement mixer motor set up but I was wondering if anyone has ever been down this road of fabricating something along these lines and could offer any input into pitfalls to avoid or height required above fire which will be of the wood variety. The client wants two tripod type structures either side of a fire set in a garden but I was thinking of using a cut down water but or something. There is lots of info on the web regarding gas fired trailer business orientated set ups but we want a cheaper old school log fire set up!!! Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!
  8. Denny, Its difficult to say what to look out for as there are various diffent types of arc welders ie oil cooled, air cooled and fan assisted etc. It also depends on the type of work you are doing and how much you are doing. Most important though is to try the welder out and not just at full tilt try the lower settings too! Can you weld or are you looking to get this to teach yourself as it may be better trying to find someone who can weld to try out the welder. You may think that you are the problem in not being able to keep the arc consistent when there is actually a problem with the machine! It really depends on the work you are doing as mig welding is better for thinner materials ie car panels etc Mig welding is alot easier to get a grip of than arc. That said they are more expensive but for thinner materials its the way to go! Depends on what you are looking to achieve!
  9. Hi to all, Just joined today so I thought I better say hello! I have been in the welding and fabrication field for some time but most of my work was heavy plant fabrication and repair in the open cast mining and quarrying industry in Scotland. Now I have moved to SW France for better weather!!as welding 56 hours a week outdoors in all weathers was getting a bit tiresome. I have some limited forging skills and have over the past few years tried to equip myself with some reasonable kit inc Gas Forge, plasma cutter, mechanical power hammer (VERNET) and my latest aquisition is a section rolling machine which I have zero experience with. I am looking for tips etc on avoiding any blunders etc when using this machine and also how best to go about fabricating the old style hanging method where the gate swivels on a pin below and is held near the top using a forged eye enveloping a circular section which is machined/ground into the solid square upright of a gate. (If you follow what I mean!!!!) Anyway hello to all and thanks for any suggestions help you can give me !
