LHS ? more info please.
Mig welding workshop at LHS
London Hackspace.
Cheers Daniel! Would love to do some training at slms when we get welding kit setup.
On a sidenote - don’t suppose any slms folk fancy coming over to lhs tomorrow (friday) at 9am for mig welding training? I can guest you in for the morning, currently have one space left to fill, cost would be £30 to cover gas etc.
uh uh, this feel like when you tell your girlfriend that her best friend looks pretty tonight

Done.
Wasn’t able to make this morning but welding has been on the list for a while. Would 100% be interested in a future training day.
I’m running another one this friday morning - currently have two places for lhs members available but could fit in 1/2 folk from here if they have masks/can borrow them?
Not sure if we are allowed to borrow stuff but there is definitely at least one working mask in the snug…
I’m interested…What time?
Need to sort a mask out…P2 or P3 standard?
Do you think we’d be able to squeeze in the brazing afterwards?
Unfortunately I can’t make Friday due to work… Would it be worth joining LHS and keeping an ear out for one further in the future where I can plan in a day off do you think?
One of the welding masks in the snug is mine, you’re welcome to borrow it. Can’t remember the brand off the top of my head…

Hey! Sorry for forgetting to reply to your messages! By mask I actually mean helmet (i.e the bit that blocks light out) - my terminology could be clearer!
It’s 9am on friday morning - no charge for anyone from SLMS as I’m feeling nice - one place and you will need to sort a helmet.
Aye - we can finally do the brazing - I should be there until midafternoon or so!
Possibly - tbh LHS doesn’t run many scheduled inductions for metal kit - it’s usually a case of asking nicely if someone will, then working out availability. Unfortunately I don’t have much availability except 9-5 or very late weekday. Nonetheless - LHS does have excellent metal tools (saws, good welders etc) and is cheap (£5/month minimum) so could be worth a go.
My one in the back is a visor/helmet
Thanks @Dermot I’ll have a look for it tomorrow.
I’ll be there 9am Friday @calum_nicol …thanks!
Should I source brazing rods?
Great!
I think I might have found some rods in the back of a shelf at lhs - will have a look tomorrow and try to let you know by lunch if that suits? Though I imagine flux will be important - and I’m not really sure what’s best for stainless… @metaltechs ?
I will also check there is gas for the brazing torch…
I’m a bit under the weather today so haven’t been able to get in today check if there is sufficient gas but I suspect there will be - so feel free to bring whatever rod/flux you think. If there’s no gas we can get in and do it another time. Either way let’s do the mig in the morning.

Argh!!! I forgot the dam helmet and the dog I was supposed to drop off tonight want it dropped off in the morning…bummed I will miss the session but I can still swing by to say hello early afternoon if you’re still at LHS.
Hope you’re feeling better.
One of the other guys has had to cancel - so you’re fine to come without
mask if you can get down in time…
