When I got to Martin’s house to check out his new welder it was only then that I discovered he had not even unpacked the box. It was funny a few weeks ago we had come true everything to make sure that he purchased the right welding equipment for his needs and wants it arrives he was so excited that he wanted me to be there and unpack it with him. One of the first things we don’t want everything was out of the box was to look at the operating manual. No matter how much you know or how much you think you know you should always take precautions with any equipment and make sure you take some time to read some of the situations and recommendations that any manufacturer of welding equipment has.
Mar and everything else organize he had plenty of metal sheets already in his workshop. He had gas ready to use and most importantly he also had purchased some safety equipment for use. Because he had used a smaller cheap welder just so he could get some ideas he was ready to roll as soon as everything was set up. It’s amazing to see and professional artists at work because he was so focused on what he wanted to achieve and in what time frame he was going to do it. In a few days it had taken from ordering his welder to getting it delivered he had done a number of things. I have recommended a friend who basically does this for a living and he was willing to give Martin some lessons over a couple of evenings. This was fantastic grounding work for him because he was able to learn from an experienced by very quickly.
He also rented a portable welder from a local hire store I was able to get more practice in until his equipment arrived. It’s amazing that the guy to call around to my home a few weeks previously wanting to know that little bit about welding hard in that short space of time made a decision to purchase his own. Take lessons from a professional and then also get time to practice. To be honest he knew it was going to take him a lot of work to make sure he was doing this properly. But, there’s one thing I can say is that just looking at him on the first few times he was using his new welder was amazing he was so precise and so dedicated to what he wanted to do and by when he needed it done.
It was only later that I discovered some of his work was going to be commissioned by a particular company. He has already shown them small-scale models and they had agreed on everything else so the guy was so determined to get the welding done as soon as possible. Overall it was an interesting experience to help a friend purchased his welding equipment it was not something that I had done because I am not an expert but with a little bit of research and a little bit of making phone calls to a couple of other people we were able to make a decision and I think we made a perfect decision for his needs.
