Just seen this thread. It's a while since I did any welding,but I must agree with the opinion that stick (arc) welding is the way to weld thick mild steel.
The engineers at work hate the summer when we are all working in shorts with massive fans and they are dressed in leather and can't have a draught cos it blows their gas away, they should have stuck to wood.
