Kerry, a Bolster is a wide flat chisel.
Could also be used for cutting bricks / building work. |

I welded last night for the first time with Oxy/Ac and I have to say I'm impressed. The metal flowed together really nice and its a very beautiful weld. Looks like my tig welding. I will say though I get less hazz when Tig welding but that may be my inexperienced when adding filler rod. When not using filler rod it still seems to put more heat in it but still a very useful skill!

Thanks Paul and Chris, I am sure you will find that by using gas welding in the way I show you will save a lot of time. As I say on the DVD for steel tig can be used without filler rod which is what Contour Autocraft teach and you get a slightly narrower heatband (HAZ) but the difference in distortion is minimal. With tig the steel has to be almost perfect I have found whereas gas is more forgiving. For aluminium gas is far superior once you master it because it is a lot faster and you do not have so much grinding to do if any.

David, of all the books, DVD's etc I have seen it is by far the best overall package of info. It should be required viewing for anyone attempting sheet metal repair.
Given what I see over here as the average standard of body "restoration" they could recoup the cost of the disc just in the bondo they will save |
