air gun ant 1,666 Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 We needed a new gate after the puppy had taken to chewing the old wooden one (which was totally knackered anyway TBH) but opening is a weird size and to big for an "off the shelf" jobbie, so I drew a quik pic on the back of a fag packet as you do and grabbed some steel £30, and set to practicing my welding, my mig was up at my parents house so this was all done with a little aldi stick welder. I'm pretty pleased with it anyway and it kept me out the pub for the weekend I had to tack a sheet of weld mesh on after I'd finished, and little tw*t of a puppy walked straight between the bars lol added another £20 to it but it's still cheaper than buying one 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GruffaloGriff 1,859 Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Nice Job Best way to learn -buy a welder and play about with it. I started welding the same way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
