I'm still using a set of gauges that Brock gave me as a birthday present years ago.
I rent a bottle of Argonshield from the local BOC dealer, (Hampshire Bolt & Tool in Basingstoke, Hants).
The account's actually in Flap's name so he gets the bill for the annual bottle rental & I pay him the cash. About 70 quid a year I think, plus about 50 to refill it, (they swap the empty for a full one). It's an X size bottle, which stands something like 4 feet tall & maybe 8 or 10 inches diameter. Obviously it depends how much welding I'm doing, but for general welding on brackets here & there & stuff, I probably change it twice a year.

Like Mr M, i too have a BOC contract. I have a size Y bottle and use Argoshield Universal. Costs £41 for a refill plus £13 handling so i`m paying £54.
Are you sure you use an X Andy?

Yeah, but it's a while since I refilled it, so could well be wrong on the prices. Memory span of a goldfish me.  |

You'll be building frames before you know it! How's the course going? Enjoying it? Many other builders there? Most of the guys on the course I did were there to learn so they could restore old cars. There was also a woman who wanted to try metal sculpture.

Course is good, if a little slow-paced!!
Me, a couple of car buffs, and the rest are agricultural repair-y types, paid for by Hants County Council!
