So not much physically happening on the trike - but that doesnt mean that things have gone quiet.
After my initial practices at TIG welding (BTW my plasma TV is still hanging on the wall ;-) and after watching a whole bunch of youtube welding tutorials, I realise I am nowhere near good enough to create a trike frame that i'd be proud enough of to see on the cover of BSH. And so i need some training.
Fortunately there is a welding training college not far from here which run courses not only for apprentice marine pipe welders but for the public DIY man too.
The people at Coventry Welding Workshop seemed very accomodating, and when I mentioned this to TVOR, he seemed very interested too...... So weve booked a 2 day workshop for the end of this month. Weve asked for a very much hands on/lots of welding practice event with minimal H&S/metallurgy nonsense - and the coventry welding workshop people seem happy with that.
So not only will this be a gaining new skills session, but a father and son bonding moment too :-)
