I Loved Welding in school, the welders we had were absolute garbage and this one is obviously top notch. I reckon i’ll get straight into an awesome new tray for my truck and a camper trailer i’ve been wanting to build from the ground up! Honestly if i got this i’d probably buy an old 80 series and do an extra cab swap. I’ve been dreaming about it for years and years and with this i’ll probably make the decision and go for it considering i can literally make ANYTHING!
Hey mate, shoot us a message on instagram!
one of the the first project i would tackle with the welder is a basic sheet metal bender then i would go on to making a slide out pantry for the old mans canopy, with the sheet metal bender i build before hand and obviously the welder. then probably a log holder that slides into your tow ball hitch for cutting fire wood. would be very handy to have.
It'll be awesome to weld repair my boat trailer. Hanging out to go fishing again after this pandemic restrictions.
My pop who passed away a few years back now was a draftsman who worked for solo/jjrichard and sons in Chinderah Nsw for almost 50 years. I went there as a young boy and was instantly amazed I’m now a apprentice mechanic who is looking to follow his footpaths in welding. This starter kit is amazing and would quickly get me into some exhaust fabrication and maybe some shelves for the garage 🤙🏽
Cheers Crew
I've never used MIG or TIG before. Your comments were very encouraging with regard to MIG. Welding thin material has always been a problem with stick welding and I am looking forward to trying MIG out on panel and sheet metal work.
Great “how to” there Shauno, some good information to get people started, just a couple of points
•Porosity can also be caused by too much gas flow, look up Venturi effect
•Gas type is important , argon/c02 for mild Steel mig, pure argon for stainless mig+tig
As for what my first project would be, finish my rear bar and start a set of turbo manifolds.
Good luck to the winner cause I know it won’t be me
I’d love to tackle an off-road teardrop style camper to tow! It’s been a dream since I was 12, and I’d love to start learning how to weld and get it done!
Have you started your camper trailer yet ? Build your dreams
Loved welding in school and haven’t had the chance to get back in to it. The kids and I love your show and have been inspired to hit the tracks and get on the tools!
I've been wanting to learn to weld for some time but have only tried stick welding which hasn't worked out well. Thanks for the video, inspired me to give gasless MIG welding it a go. Love that this welder has an easy setting for different thicknesses of metal! First couple of projects will be on my jeep, I'll start small by making a frame for a dual battery set up and then some rock sliders once I get a bit of practice!
Hi guys, I am 19 years old and I am trying to restore my lada niva and the good welder would be really good. I cant afford myself that welder but it would change everything and with this video I learned a lot about welding.When I was 16 I bought lada niva and didn't see how much rust it has and I drove it like that for 3 years and know its time to rebuild my dream 4wd. I am from Croatia and I would really like to drive again my niva. Hope you all have a great day.
p.s. sorry for my english, it's not my native language
Definitely the first project I’d tackle is a custom trey for my hilux, love the videos mate
I hadn't welded since high school but always wanted to learn properly. Then good old lockdown raised its head down here in Vic, So I borrowed my neighbours mig welder and had a crack. I finally got the old man teaching me his old panel beating knowledge and we cut out all the rust in my project car and welded it all back up! Was such an awesome experience learning how to weld and finally working on a car with the old man!! Since then I've fixed my old trailer and made up some metal garden edging!! So glad I finally learnt how to weld and now im looking for more things to fix!! Now I just need my own welder instead of borrowing the neighbours 😂 My first project with this welder would be making new mounting brackets for my bar work on my hilux surf seeing i found out the hard way hilux parts aren't compatible with Surfs 😂!! I would be forever grateful for such a prize!! Keep up the great work guys, Love the trips, tips and beers in the shed 🍻
I have been welding for a few months now and I have loved it I had never even seen a video let alone touched a welder before but I would love to win this package to start making my own projects and improve by myself at home cheers guys and the tips are very much needed.
Hi Shauno, first job, I would make some rock sliders for my L200, then trim the bottom of my wellside tray and fab a slim rear bumper.
Love how quickly you can change the settings on this welder 😎
Cheers Aaron 🍻
Great “how to” Shauno. I’d probably weld up a bike rack for on top of the camper so my 3 terrors are more occupied when we go away and that means I’ll be able to stay away longer!!
Thanks heaps Shaun’s. I’ve been a stick welder for 50 years but your video has inspired me to give a MIG a go, I’ve got nine, 12 foot gates to construct and a body for a spray rig to chase weeds in cultivation and paddocks.
Go Shauno, Great to see you guys branching out into other styles of content. always worth the watch. Cheers
I would definitely start building our dream steel frame pergola in the backyard. The brand new Weldclass welder would be perfect to start the project right here at home! Thanks 4WD 24-7!
0inch is
I’d love to learn and start up a space cab chop on my 105 series landcruiser, it’s been a dream of mine for awhile to do a DIY series on an entire single cab chop and later design and fab a canopy to suit. Love your work fellas ❤️🤙
I’d love to see a 105 chopped
This would be sick
That is such a beast idea
I have just bought back my old BJ74 FRP 4wd that I sold 16 years ago and I need to do some rust repairs and love to have my own welder and teach myself to fix the cruiser back to its glory days.
Great info video. Thanks a lot. I really was at a lost with welding. Now I have very good idea and know that i need to choose a gasless mig welder!
I've been wanting to make a rear bar for my 120 prado I've gone through 3 factory grap plastic bars. Mabey even rear scrubs to meet the slider's so my rig is fully protected. Love ya work to Shauno 🤘🤘🤘
I would build my 8 year old daughter the gym bars she had been asking for all year for her birthday in October.
Love this show.
So my best mate is a sheet metal fabricator by trade and I’m always lining up jobs for the poor bugger to start and finish. I’ve been too tight to spend the money on a welder even though I’ve been talking about it for years!
By winning this package, it would allow me to get into the big long list of projects without having to rely on my mate Elliott. Starting with the framework for the shed extension, the rust patches that are starting to come through in the old Hilux, and to whip into the floor pans on my project VW Baja Bug!
Love the channel, and whether I win or not, I’ll save this video for the time when I’m in the shed with my new future welding apparatus!
I’ve just finished school and was looking to get into the welding industry the first task that I would weld would probably be portable some fire pit designs to make mine and other peoples camping experiences a little easier for anyone that would be interested it would also keep the campsites nice and tidy 🤘
I've been wanting to learn how to weld for quite a while and have just recently purchased myself a project boat to restore so that would be the first project on my list if I win.
Great video guys keep up the solid content 👌
Yes boats are so fun to rebuild I but an electric motor in a sail boat still working on it tho almost ready for a water test
Best project you can tackle is building a welding trolley to cart around the gear, then a set of rock sliders on the fourby
Great vid thanks shauno, i have been putting off rebuilding the back bar on my crane truck (its cracked), i normally get my brother to do the welding for me, but he is very busy and you have given me the confidence to give it a crack myself! That beaut of a welder would definitely make anyones job easier.
My first project - Welding Bench. This is a great video it's on my facebook now. Well done.
I’m a 13 year old, I’ve always wanted to learn how to weld but my dad doesn’t wanna break the bank, this would be a great alternative so I can get into welding! My first project would be a draw sister for out trailer so we can get out into the scrub a bit more often
I would like a chance to win, I just brought myself my 1st 4x4 a ford ranger and just finished Raptor coating it black from watching your videos thanks heaps for that also, my second project would be to build myself a custom canopy so I can get it ready for my 1st trip away next year. Love the show its helping me so much with my ranger. thank you
I'm a heavy metal fabricator and welder by trade.
The tips are very good for a baseline to get into welding.
I would first make a water tank for the back of my 80 series.
Or trying my hands at making a 270 degree awning from scratch.
Love your videos.
Been a fan for well over 10 years.
I've recently just begun stick welding with the old man on a camper trailer we're building during our VIC lockdown, (welding draw bars, chassis mounts etc) and being a beginner with a stick welder can be quite hard at times and I've always wanted to learn MIG, and having our own welder each means he cant blame me when something goes missing! even though he'd probably try and pinch it off me! Cheers Guys
I’m 15, and want to be a boilermaker when I’m older. It would be great to get a welder now to start practicing, and also to see what it’s like.
Get on the tig as early as possible, I'm 22 was your age with similar goals and I screwed around for way longer than I should've and ive only just started on tig this year. Theres good money in welding so find yourself some part time work while your still young enough to be living for free I'm guessing so use that to your advantage and save every dollar until you've got yourself a setup ideally with a cooler call local workshops to ask for free scrap and the rest just comes down to time and motivation. If you can start practicing at your age you will be leagues ahead of most people by time you're my age.
I would like this welding package for my Son he loves watching you guys do 4 wheel driving in Australia and you mates have inspired him to go out and enjoy the Australian outdoor he has big ideas and projects for himself and really loves 4x4 rigs his dream vehicle is either a Toyota 80 series LandCruiser, Toyota JN45 or Toyota Hilux LN106 hope you have a good night and cheers! 🍻
Great video Shauno and Jason! Great tips and advice.
The first project I would tackle with the Weldclass 210MST package is building a steel welding bench. This would allow me to practise my new skills and allow me to create a productive and efficient workspace.
The next thing I would begin to build is a new tray for my Dmax. The alloy tray is starting to crack and twist.
Thanks for this great opportunity!
I love the videos you guys make!
I’ve ALWAYS wanted to get into welding. Among the hundreds of things I’d want to do, my first project would be fabricating brackets to strap a couple 5 gal. fuel cans onto my Gobi roof rack for the long desert trips I take.
This timing of the giveaway is so perfect! I have plans to build a trailer behind my restored 1965 Unimog 404. I just started drawing some ideas!
I have the plan to learn welding for the trailer build. On my unimog my father and friends did the welding (very difficult welds)
So my plans are I want a 750kg ( the law allows me to build my own designed trailer of 750kg without brakes ) trailer with 40inch unimog tires. I found an axle by a friend in his garden and I gonna restore it. It fits Unimog rims. I will get leaf springs and shocks from an SJ413 or something similar. And then make a flatbed to tow a small boat + 4hp engine or big army tent. And some boxes under the bed for storage. And same width as the Unimog.
So I really hope I win this awesome opportunity! I gonna film the process of the build.
I think it will look epic to have a small trailer with same tires as the 1965 Unimog ❤️ And my father can teach me welding so I have the skill for life!
Please for the love of all other road users do not undertake building a trailer to learn to weld. It's a 4 year apprenticeship for a reason 🙄
@@reecechristian6185 I have my father as a teacher. And I already have all the other engineering skills. And I will practice first with scrap metal. I started my Unimog without any knowledge and I manage to rebuild and upgrade it 😎
750kg unbraked includes your trailer weight and payload, not just tare weight of your trailer, so as you'll very quickly find out, building a solid trailer leaves very little payload capacity.
Little point having a solid 500kg trailer to carry 250kg payload.
Look into braked axle for everyone's sake.
I would build a set of chin up bars that I have been promising my younger brother. This would allow us to spend more time training together.
My first project ever that I would really like to make is a set of rockslides for our Toyota Landcruiser. Shawn you make it look so easy with this machine. Can’t wait to give it a go.
Always been too scared to try welding but this has inspired me. Thanks Shauno. My first project would be to duplicate the pony canopy as I've been hanging to try that ever since I saw that vid. Cheers guys.
I Would Love to Get this giveaway so I could give it to the Oldman for Fathers Day. He would be stoked! Then maybe I Could Convince him to Work on my 80 Series ;)
Yes good idea
Would love to make my own roof basket! My current one has broken at all the folds and is held on by zip ties and a phone charger cable! She makes a bit of a rattling noise on the roof! Need to make one myself instead of buying one! A mig welder would come in so handy!
Found this vid while researching “How to weld”’as I’m about to repair my trailer. Plus been watching those Raptor Coat vids, which once I finish trailer repairs, I’ll refresh it with a Raptor Coat! Great explantation’s Shaun. Who know’s, I may make something for the tow tug which is a GU 4.2TD that has never done any serious 4 wheeling.
The first project I would tackle is repairs to my old 1937 Chevrolet 1 1/2 ton Truck. Over the years she‘s copped a bit of a hiding, and now it’s time to give her a new lease of life!
Cheers, Pete
Hey shauno loved the video, I will use the welder to make my dad a bigger trailer for work. And maybe even a boat trailer.
Thanks
I'd build a rear bar so I don't keep losing brake lights off my GU 🤣
Best thing I’ve done to my GU is make a rear bar because of this reason😂😂😂
A couple the many projects I have on the list that require a welder is welding up some new bar work and also making a new carry all for the tractor. But there is plenty more around the farm that I could fix by having a good welder such as this one! Thanks for the chance at the prize! 🤙
Thank you for making this video! I’ve been in the market for a welder to tackle literally everything on my fj40 project. She’s got a lot of little holes and needs some custom bar work that I’d like to do myself.
Would love to weld up a headboard for my ute tray and eventually build my own tray. Awesome vid Shauno🤙🏼
I would build a welding table, than drift trike with my 12 year old son and 15 year old nephew. All 3 learning at the same time. Education for life skills, as the 12y wants to be a boilermaker.
I'm loving these short videos. Never have welded before! I reckon attacking a chunk of scrap for a few hours would be my first project
I was hoping to do my 1st welding diy project this weekend but I just realised that I bought a 15amp welder! What a wally, I could really use that fancy 10amp one, as I'm a total novice the auto settings would be extremely helpful for me.
Hey boys, ripper of a video might I say. At the moment I just have a crappy old stick welder that's about as useful as tits on a bull and I've dreamt of having a quality mig welder for years. The first thing I'd tackle is a canopy for the back of my single cab ln106 and maybe some bar work once I got more acquainted with welding. I'm really hoping to go on the trip of a lifetime up to cape york with the lux and having the ability to fabricate a canopy would be the bee's knees. Thanks.
I've just bought two 1980's 70 Series Toyota Landcruisers, and I'll be needing a welder to get them both back on and off the road, one for my son to use as his off-roader, and the other for me and the missus to use as a camper truck, couldn't let these great old trucks get parted out or end up on the scrap heap, but they do need quite a bit of work. And thanks for the welding intro Shauno.
Great video, thanks mate. Just starting my welding journey so probably make a welding table to get me started.
Awesome information on welding thanks Shauno my first welding job would have to be a custom kitchen and drawer system for my old camper trailer to make it way more user friendly now I'm getting older I find it hard to get stuff from way up the far end of the trailer
I’m a year 12 student and just brought all the steel I need to build my new Ute tray after a finish school. I’ve only got my grandfathers old stick welder, this good bit of Italian kit would be able to do the job twice as quick and it would come up a treat👌👌🍻
What ute is it mate? It's great you're into tray building at a young age.
@@Malc664 1996 sr5👌 7 years older than me🤣
My first project would be a new and improved roof rack. My last one I made myself but with my little ozito inverter stick welder. Having a welder that can do mig and tig will make the job so much neater.
Fantastic video too. Very informative and straight forward.
Great content guys, really given me the buzz to try welding. I would love to build my own duel battery tray for the 4b, something custom one of one style.
I have been using my mates little stick welder on my last project, so I think this would be a great addition to help the both of us out on our projects,
But my first project with the welder is I would love to fix up my trailer as it has a couple of rust holes in it and maybe even knock up an enclosed frame for it to have a diy camper trailer/gear carter,
Great video 👍
Thank you! This is really helpful.
I’d love this welding package so I could start practising for the future, my first project would be some nice sturdy dog kennels for my grandfather! Thanks for making all this content, really helps for fullas like me who didn’t quiet get the hand from a father, keep up the content guys!
First project will be a roof rack for the patrol, followed by fixing the pool fence! My current rack moves too much with the basket attached and the fence has a couple of broken welds. So one gets me off the road safer and the other gets me out of hot water with the council and into cool water during the summer.
First thing I would build in the shed with the ultimate starter package would be a tray for my new vehicle arriving in the coming months. Can’t beat the feeling of accomplishing a build on your own vehicle with good mates in the shed. Hopefully this package can help bring my dream rig build to reality and get it ready to travel and see our country 🤞🏻
love the content keep up the great work 🤙🏻
I do lots of welding at school and i love it. The first project i did was i welded up a bench seat for school
That is probably the best introduction to welding videos I have seen, almost everything covered including disconnecting the battery when working on cars, the only things I would have added was proper ventilation when welding galvanised steel and you didn't really cover the tig aspect. That being said it's really great to know someone made such an informative video for beginners 👍
Would love to start tackling some barwork for the hilux, the valuable skills you learn doing projects yourself is second to none
My starting project is a hot plate for over my camp fire then work my way up to making my custom tray and canopy for my Dmax. Shaunos hot tips will come in handy when the time comes.
I started doing wirefeed as a kid to fix things around the ranch. Now I have built a few bikes, bumpers, sliders and even some winch plates.
This awesome setup would come in handy for my unrealised ambition of creating garden art and fire pits and that sort of thing. This pandemic has made me think long and hard about what I enjoy doing and my crappy Aldi gasless mig has opened my eyes to what I could achieve with the right gear. The closer I get to retirement the more I think about ways to finance that retirement- why not have fun welding in the shed and sell stuff you make? Love the videos guys.
Great video! I recently bought an old ute to use on my property and I’d love to weld up my own canopy and racks for the old girl.
My first project would definitely be rocksliders for my 80 series Landcrusier. Learning how to bend notch and then weld the sliders all up!
Awesome and simple explanation Shauno. The young fella and I bought a 84 Suzuki SJ40 to rebuild and play with. Mechanically we’re good welding and panel repairs not so much. Would be awesome achievement to be able to do the lot👌
Geat video mate, had some very handy tips.. Im just starting to build a mazda 323 running an ls1 on a Hilux Chasse. I currently only have a cheap Chinese Mig an im in desperate need of a high quality Mig so my project can be finished to a high standard. Thanks, I enjoy the videos keep them coming.
Great information, thanks
I’m going into an apprenticeship next year after I finish year 10 and it’s going to involve a fair bit of welding so would be good to practice at home and also be able to weld up things for my 60 series landcruiser and my boat👍
I would love to finally own a welder, did abit of fab work in school and absolutely loved it, now I want to start making bar work for my Ute as well as make a tray and be proud of the work I've done, also want to weld with my old man and build fully custom and unique trays
I started a custom home made camper trailer a while ago but have since sold my little stick welder when I moved to Townsville. Finishing my camper would definitely be my first project with a new welder.
Great vid for anyone wanting to learn to weld, would sure love my own welder and would definitely hook into making a tray and toolbox set up for my work ute 👍
I’ve recently become an apprentice welder and was planning on making a custom tray for my ln167 but I’ve been undecided on what welder to get with a budget. THANKS FOR THE WELDING TIPS!!!
Get an AHP. Love mine.
@@Christopher-vf6kx I’ll have a look thanks man 👍
Shaun love the tips! Such a neat little welder that is super simple to use. I use the old mans welder all the time for my own projects at home, but never bought my own.
First project for me is to build a new workbench/shelves/storage in my new shed ready to then start building my custom canopy and tray. All a pre wedding project ready for a honeymoon away camping given that Rona has shut everything down.
Shauno after watching your episode on buying the farm truck .my 12 year old saved his return and earn money and we search for a fj 45 ute .
Pick on up for a steel .
Our first job will be using this give away working on the fj .
Obviously dad using the welder .
Cheers legend
This video couldn't have come sooner! I've been tossing up on a few different welders and almost had the rush of blood purchase. This would be my first welder in which I have a few projects lined up. The first is to make a door on the rear of my ute tray to enclose the gap made by the two side toolboxes that I use as my canopy, I've even done the drawings, with a cut list. I just need to purchase the supplies and more importantly the welder! Cheers guys!
I've done a bit of welding in school but nothing since i've graduated. A fresh frame for my tray would be sweet, not to mention fixing up all those stress cracks in it from my recent Simpson Desert trip (Structural Ratchet Strap Gang). Fully custom bar work with a sick and simple welder would be close behind to give my 4j Collie a couple of useful presents. There's always so many little jobs on the rig that need a welder so this would be a massive help. Stoked to see Shauno's making it easy for everyone to tackle even the most daunting jobs the world of 4bie'ing can throw out there.
the first project i would tackle is creating my own welding table as i have to weld on my dads little stand up bar table with my pops very old welder and a few youtube tutorials to teach me how to set up a welder, have been wanting to tackle this project for a long time but the welder has had a lot of issues. i have also wanted to transition from the automotive trade to boilermaker as i love watching welding and i find it very fun so i would love to start learning a bit more with this starter pack.
Great video, the first project i have in mind for the weldclass is an old atv in the shed converted to a buggy..
Would also like to have a crack at some rock sliders as im in bad need before the vic high country crushes my sills...
I'd give it to my Dad. The old boy has relied on stick for years and gave me the insight into welding. It'd be awesome for me to give something back to him.
Great project ideas by most people here and good on them. Without the experience, I think my first project will be a gas bottle barbecue or fire pit and work up from there. Love the suggestion to do practice welds on a scrap piece of flat steel. Great video, thanks.
Preset setting make it real easy. Liked the welding explanations. I have an old trailer I would love to fix up. Needs a little TLC like a new floor and filling in some rust holes. I could also weld a cage for it. Jobs are endless!
New out door table for the misso! So she lets me do more stuff in the shed for the Ute! Cheers Shauno!
Good day mate my first project would be a post winch fitted in the back of my dad’s old dmax for his mobilty scoot 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 btw nice vid very informative also love all your trail in the outback you guys are the GOAT
Definitely been dreaming of welding a shuttle style bike rack. Easy first project to start dialling in the skills.
Perfect for making sliders for my truck!
Been wanting to learn how to weld for a while now. Just a few hurdles in the way.
1- single wage supporting a young family
2 - Covid. Moved to Brisbane for work. Family stuck in Melbourne for over 2 months. Paying 2 rents and 2 living arrangements.
Doing video calls with my 3 and 16month old a few times a day, even reading them bed time stories via video call.
Back to your question, I would build my self a camper trailer! Cant afford to buy a good one, but could def build one over a few years.
Even a alloy boat, maybe or damaged one and fix it up. Would be great to start getting up to more adventures with the two young little fellas! Thanks 4wd 24-7!
Thanks Shauno for a great video, very informative.
Would love a decent mig welder! My first project will be a swing our spare wheel carrier fir the camper trailer. Cheers, keep being awesome!
Thanks for the handy hints and tips Shauno.
The mrs and me are planning our getaway. Planning on building the canopy for camping and to hold the boat on the roof. If that works well, will be doing the same on my mates truck for our Christmas getaway. Winning the welder would mean a few more mod cons on the old truck to keep the mrs happy, and maybe a few more rods and reels...
One of the first projects I would be doing on my 80 is building a rear bar and modifying the front bar to be more bush proof and tackle the tough tracks around. A welder is a great piece of kit that i have wanted to acquire for a while to become a capable fabricator in the shed.
Very informative! I'd turn my tub and canopy into a camper trailer with building/welding the A frame etc and build an alloy/steel tray on the nav.
Great video Shauno, I plan on building an off road trailer and a bench for the shed, I don’t have a welder yet and this setup looks ideal.
Well my first job would be fixing my sons try that fell off on the pdr on the way home from the cape 2 months ago lol epic trip love ur work Shauno
