It’s been welded bliss on my farm since 1985

Everyone in farming gains huge benefits when armed with a basic welder, and a grasp of how to use it.

The techniques are no way as difficult or magical as experts make out. As a small-scale farmer (52 acres), I spent years in awe of the man who did my necessary repairs, and an equal amount of time trying to avoid the expense, with the ingenious use of baler twine.

But twine never really worked as well as the proper repair, and I wasted vast amounts of time, and caused myself unnecessary frustration, by being a non-welder.
