Having never read AS3892 is there much of a difference to AS1796 or is it just the retesting part since its working with boilers

Thanks a lot being trying to get my skills back to when I did it for a living a few years ago. Another project I built recently was this table, welds wernt as good but getting better every time http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160827/63bc4b99cba4dd141199a9b1c3a3eb78.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn....

Your situation sounds very similar. I ended up in engineering because I was always the one to put my hand up to fix problems, I'm lucky in a way as the engineers I work with are brilliant but they also ask me for my advice as they do respect my knowledge the only problem is the company bases wages o...

A weld off the gate I made for my yard and the gate all finished

Thanks guys I'm leaning towards doing it, the whole plan is to get ahead because like you've said kym the working world is changing and I think it's a case of getting ahead where you can

Hey everyone, I've come to a crossroads in my career and I'm finding it tough to get advice from people who have been in the same situation. About three years ago I got "promoted" into an engineering support role which has been touted as a wonderful opportunity by everyone who I speak to, ...

I feel ya buddy I'm Australian as well and good gear here is expensive no ifs or buts. Basically you have your industrial quality units which are designed to be run flat out all day without fail they are expensive because of R&D and our small market plus gst and logistics costs then the Chinese ...

Try gasweld if u have one nearby my local has them individually however a bit pricey

Yeah that's what I thought initially big companies have legal teams to cover this sort of stuff. And yes Australian regs are up there with the toughest of them. 25% due to the Aussie attitude of "she'll be right mate" 25% Engineers on the regulations boards putting in sound engineering req...

I'm in OZ as well and I've been through the regs I've even said to him to get it certified but his opinion was it was safe so he wasn't worried. I'm a qualified boilermaker so I am able to get my work certified if it were to be engineered so I think I'll probably only do it if he agrees to get it in...

I don't know if I'm a bit late on this one however I have had a different branded version of the first one it's about 5 years old now and has done a lot of work and it welds as good as the kemppi and esabs I've used in the past

Hi guys and girls, I've been asked to do some welding on a friend's car but my judgment is making me question doing so. It's a small sports car and he would like the panhard rod (track rod I believe they are called in the US) cut and have an adjuster installed, these adjusters are sold as suited to ...

Cheers mate they were the ones just ordered a set

OK so iv realised i need an adaptor for the dinse connection so really just need to know whether I can ID the other fitting

Hey all, need some help with setting up my new tig leads and torch. I ordered a wp-17fv to replace my Sr-26 now I have the issue nothing fits. So first issue is the Sr-26 has a INNP 35-70 male connection and the wp-17fv has a ck10-25 will it be just a matter of cutting off the plug and replacing wit...

I don't know if it's changed much since I did my apprenticeship and some of my mates did there welder quals. but from memory everyone started with Module welding and thermal cutting then you could do mig stick or tig 1,2 and 3 this didn't make you a certified welder but it showed your employer you h...

Thanks again, sorry I wasn't really clear I meant all I could find was a hotline not that the number you gave me was. I'll give Peter a ring first and see how I go

Thanks Coldman, I had sent off an info request but hadn't received anything and was having trouble finding contact details rather than a hotline.

Not nearly $1500 compelling, only real reason as I was looking to do it in blocks to save dragging it out over 18weeks

Hi guys and girls,

Just wondering if any of the Aussies here in NSW have completed their AS1796 certification with a training provider other than TAFE and if it was available to do it in weekly blocks?
