welding and fabrication course coming to an end

             Have spent this year doing a Welding and Fabrication course at
             the College of North West London.
             Here are the results of the practical part of the course



                                                         
                                                               Can't wait to get this home and put some tools in it!!

                                                   
                                                                  That was my first go at oxy-acetylene .cleaned up nice!
             
                                                           

                   
                                                         The two welding test pieces for MIG & MMA.
                                                         Made up of a T fillet, a V butt & an outside corner.
                                                         It's been hard work getting to this stage with just over
                                                         2 hours a week
                                                         I'm quite pleased with results in the end
                                                         Passed the written paper on Monday.
                                                         I'm hoping that next year they will run a Machining       
                                                         course that fits in with work.
                                                         All very basic I know but we all start somewhere!!
