The Welding Kit Arrives

I received my welding equipment 2 days ago. The Henrob 2000/Dillon Torch kit, Hoses, Regulators, Flash back arrestors, lighter, and welding helmet (This outfit costed $999).

1 day ago, yesterday, I went and bought the oxygen and acetylene gas bottles (from BOC gases), plus some 4130 steel tube to practice on, and some mild steel filler rod (R45 I think). The 5.5m of 4130 tube costed around $80, the filler rod $3, and the gas around $70 (plus $20 per month gas bottle hire).

This was all I needed to get started and practice some welding.
