His most major Oxy issue is that he can't work out how to get the thing lit - the concept of turning the oxygen on slowly. He just wacks the oxygen on and 9 times out of 10 it goes pop and extinguishes itself. If he manages to start it, he melts the metal or blows holes in it.
With MIG, its just point and shoot, as long as you have the wire speed, voltage, etc. Through practice, he has worked out how to adjust the settings.
Normally, he does a rough cut with the grinder, then shapes it with the grinding wheel. Only basic metal work, his attempt at rust repairs would be interesting.
Good bloke, but sometimes varies from silly to dangerous.
It's like another mate who swears black and blue that a 2 stroke designed to run 25:1 will run happily on 100:1 without any effect on longevity - and he races 2 stroke motor bikes (motocross or enduro from memory).
Everyone has their own viewpoints and ideas, but running 100:1 is just a bit lean for my liking. Although some oils say you can.
