... is it easy? if i manage to pick up a cheap welding kit from Lidl or Netto... could i be building a bridge over my house by tomorrow?
Depends what sort of welding kit it is
I learned to weld using oxy-acetylene, i thought that was easy. I didnt get on with straight electric arc, could never get a good arc going for long. But a few years ago i got one of these auto feed wire arc welders, using flux cored wire. I get on a lot better with that, but still not as good as gas.
also don't weld upside down in a fleece as a burnt nipple and head banged off the sill trying to get the nugget out may be the result.
