Learning how to weld is really not that difficult. Most welders learn arc welding first. The easiest way to start welding is simply by practicing. You can pickup a cheap arc welder from somewhere like harborfreight tools. It will cost you under $120.

You will also need a welding helmet, welding gloves, a heavy jacket and some welding rods. Take my advice, spend the extra money and get an auto darkening helmet. It will make learning so much easier. You will also want to get a supply of scrap steel to practice on. This can be picked up at a scrap yard.

Now that you have all the supplies, its time to weld. Find an appropriate area, somewhere outdoors, without anything flammable around. Secure your scrap steel to some kind of table at a comfortable working height. Attach the ground to the steel. Place the welding rod in the other clamp. Put on your heavy jacket, gloves, helmet and thick pants. Turn on the welder, set it at somewhere around 80 amps to start with.

To start the arc you want to jab the electrode at the steel, then slightly pull back. If it sticks, break it free and try again. If it continues to stick, turn the amps up.

Once you have an arc going you will need to feed the electrode into it to maintain the arc. You want it about 1/4 of an inch from the metal. When it is at the right distance it will make a crackling noise. If it is too far away it will be more of a popping noise, with sparks and metal flying in all directions. If it is too close, it will stick to the metal.

The first thing you want to practice is simply laying a bead on a single piece of metal. Once you have that down, you can move on to connecting two pieces of metal together.

Remember, when learning how to weld safety comes first! You can instantly cause permament eye damage from looking at the arc without a helmet on. Also welding fumes are highly toxic. Be sure any bystanders are aware of this.

If you are interested in learning welding as a career or a hobby, “The Welding

Bible” is an excellent resource. It explains in detail everything you need to go from beginner to pro.

If you’re living in Pakistan, belong to the middle class (which means a some what limited budget!) and are planning to buy another family car, you should seriously be thinking along the lines of a second hand, used car. You may be buying a second car for your spouse or a child who’s just obtained a driving license. Whatever the reason, as outlined below, you’ll find that adding a used car to your ‘fleet’ of cars has several benefits.

The first and most important benefit of buying a used car is value for money within your budget. In tough economic times its wise to be tight fisted and spend wisely with enough in the bank for a rainy day. With a little probing and digging you’ll always find a car within your budget and one that runs well. If you’re not an expert on cars take someone along with you to have the car thoroughly examined and be quick. Remember there are others looking and great deals can attract a lot of attention.

The other benefit of buying second hand cars, especially if it’s for your teenage child, is the value of the car doesn’t depreciate as fast as it would with a new car. With the demand of used cars increasing and harder economic conditions your value won’t go down (in percentage and absolute terms) as dramatically. You also pay less for insurance.

So how do you find a great used car for sale in Pakistan? Are you looking for a Toyota, Honda or Suzuki? Fortunately the newspaper classifieds are filled with them. If you’re an internet user you can search for hundreds of daily postings on second hand cars through online classifieds. The benefit of going with the online option is that you get to search for your kind of car more easily than with the print media. You can search for a particular manufacturer, model, year of manufacture and most importantly cars within your price range. And most sites have photographs as well so you have a fair idea of the kind of car you’re buying. In fact, you can even post an ad for the type of car you’re looking for and someone will contact you.

So with a little patience, research and a few clicks you not only save money but you get to buy a great car. Don’t fall into the trap of buying a brand new car to keep up appearances. You’re much better off with the extra cash!
