New toy for the garage
Picked up this today 
Had a good practice, managed some reasnoble quality welds, butt welding and spot welding bits in place. Got goood penetration 
Bit more practice when I pick up some more bits of scrap and I can get the engine cradle welded in my chassis

portion of chicken tikka pwnsala and the obligatory free pwnpadom.

First thing to do is build a trolley for the welder and bottle, get down the supermarket with a pound for the materials 
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Or if you go to the out of town stores they don't need a pound

Just be careful. Shopping trolleys are coated in yucky zinc. If you weld it you'll get crappy welds and a stinking headache... Same reason its a
bad idea to use a shopping trolley as a BBQ.... Well, okay the bit about crappy welds doesn't matter then.....

Think a shopping trolley would be a bit wide anyway for ease of maneuvering.
Where i'm working tonight has a huge metal store they said I could raid.
So i'll grab some box section of various sizes and knock one up myself. They've got a box of caster wheels too

Here's my trolley
It's traditional to build one with the welder as a tryout. This was built from stuff lying round the shed and some wheels bought from Newark for
a fiver

Or wrap a 1p or 20p in paper to the shape of a £1 and wedge it in. Much cheaper and if you get really good at it, you can use it in vending machines
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Seven years and still going strong
green cycle wings on the back of the trolley was a bit over the top. Well if a job's worth doing.

I just chained the bottle in the corner of the garage and use a long feed hose with a quick disconect at the welder end.
Okay, I have a full size bottle but it easier to move the welder around without the bottle attached, and you're not tempted to hang your helmet
on the regulator all the time.

My garage isn't really big enough to bother making a trolley.  I can lift it about quicker that way, as there's not enough space to
manoeuvre a usefully sized trolley about!
