    Nice job on the doors. Been stick welding only a short time myself. Biggest headache is burning holes through the material but I notice your stock was nice and thick. Also those scaffolding towers are very handy. Must get one somewhere.

    • @OffGridBruce
      @OffGridBruce  2 роки тому

      I had to weld my van back together with an arc welder after crashing it and that metal was very thin. I found it very difficult and admire anyone who can stick weld. The box I had was 3mm. The scaffolding was quikstage 2nd hand stuff. It’s brilliant and got wheels for it afterwards

      It’s hard to cost exactly as I have done it in stops and starts. The slab was about 1k the frame about 2.5k the insulated roof (2nds from Laois) about 1k and the rest of the cladding about 2k including the doors. Hope that helps. I should find all my receipts to figure it out exactly
