Soz i couldnt make it but i was to busy makin a robot with anguz

With a bit of luck, Andrew and I may get back tothe arena mid-week to finish it off. We could really use a MIG welder as Andrew's stick welder is a bit heavy duty for the thin edges of the tiles - any ideas on getting one?

maybe an afternoon, me and nick got mnost of it done in a few horus today soo.....

Good work on the arena guys. We all appreciate the work.

I've been really busy lately with work and family dos. I am not going to be able to come this sat for the event as its my father in laws 50th bday, and the wife planned some sort of holiday somewhere. Shame coz TWI would be ready. Has been talk that Lindsay might drive it.

Also found a really cool kiddy pedal go kart that needs motorising. It just screams for more power!!

Jeff, It would be great if you could put in even 2 hours mid-week! We have finished all the door side and prepped all the far side tiles but they need positioning and welding, then bracing with wood. Given the time it took Andrew and I to do the first side, there would be around three hours of work left. I was going to go over for most of Wednesday but the new job is getting in the way. I might be able to do two hours in the PM but I can't be sure. If we don't get the tiles at least tacked in place and braced they will fall out on the first impact. Andrew and I left all our tools there, so you won't need much except your MIG - feel free to use my auto-darken welding helmet, and anything else you need.

Cool, Ill rock up there an afternoon some time this week then. Is there a 15A socket around, or do I need to file down the earthing pin on my welder ?

I don't think there is. Pperhaps you need to make an adaptor lead with a 10A plug and a 15A socket - I use mine everywhere. Let me know when you will be there and I will try to come along; the work will go much faster with two people. If I am not there, check out the cardboard box in the arena - all my welding tools, clamps, gloves, etc

file down the pin on an extension lead, leave the welder as is
