Re: 2cv welding job available Can I join Oh well, my welder didn't want to feed any wire, so luckily I'm back inside. Enjoy that very cosy fire place.

Outside work is too cold and working on my 2CV in the poly-tunnel too. So I am also sorting out VAT and Tax and I am making offers for potential Garden construction projects. Nice and warm , a biscuit and a cup of coffee to it.Sorry !

Re: 2cv welding job available You boys want to try boat building! Gave up this afternoon when the snow blowing in the shed had buried the angle grinder spanner so I couldn't change the disc...

Re: 2cv welding job available Do you remember that extra-cold snap in 2010, when it didn't get above freezing for a month? I had to have an electric blanket around the gas bottle, switched on 24/7 to stop the gas freezing as it passed through the regulator. Gas for the blowlamp to preheat critical welds was parked near the radiators in the house and the only item in the shed with no heating was me, unless you count putting my welding gauntlets near a weld that had just been completed. Afraid that this time round, that pair of van chassis (350 & 400) on order are going to wait a while. Typical, as there's stock of standard types sitting around, both disc and drum. ken  Uncomfortably numb? by slcchassis, on Flickr citroenboat wrote: You boys want to try boat building!

Re: 2cv welding job available Ah mam - er.. memories! Yes, real winter Happily boats are made of real metal so I use a stick welder which laughs @ cold weather, not so fond of swimming or dust tho... which only leaves me pathetic excuses like loosing stuff in the snow  Can't even use the excuse that the Ami on snow tyres can't get there.... mike

I had to have an electric blanket around the gas bottle, switched on 24/7 to stop the gas freezing as it passed through the regulator. The LPG tank on the van's got an electrically heated collar clipped to the neck. Might be worth seeing about adapting that idea? http://www.vwbusshop.de/epages/GuenzlCl ... ID=1181708
