It has been quite a few years since I met Arne at the Wyong welding store way back in 2011 when he told me about his ambitious project. Arne was a freshly retired boat builder and was planning on building himself a small boat to celebrate his retirement. This was an ambitious project that required a dedicated site for the boat build and around 3 years of fabrication. I had no idea how big the boat was until Arne shared some photos with me. That’s not a boat I thought, that’s a bloody ship.<\/p>\n

Arne used a Tokentools Alupulse<\/a> AC DC Pulse<\/a> Tig Welder<\/a>, a TT MIG 205<\/a> Inverter Mig<\/a> Welder<\/a> and a TIG<\/a> Welding<\/a> Water<\/a> Cooler<\/a>. During the build Arne burnt through many rolls of wire and numerous kilograms of tig filler wire. As a supplier of quality welding equipment this was a great opportunity to receive feedback on our products as well as witness their use on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

In the time the project took to complete Arne had gone through two spool guns and two water cooled Tig torches which is not bad considering the amount of welding required to finish the job. Next time someone carries on that you need\u00a0to spend 10K on a Miller or Lincoln or Kemppi or Fronius welder in order to build something great perhaps instead consider that all you need is passion for what you want to achieve and persistence. When Arne shared his photos with me I was immediately drawn to the level of knowledge and experience he had in building a boat of this size from scratch.<\/p>\n

Arne is quiet spoken man, he exudes great confidence yet is humble and does not self promote.\u00a0Although planning took a lot of time, within three years Arne had taken this project from first arc strike to\u00a0completion\u00a0and fitted out the<\/p>\n

entire boat. \u00a0The mig and ACDC Tig welding machines<\/a> used in the build have been superseded by newer models since 2011\u00a0and the addition of the Inverter pulse mig welder will enhance the process of aluminium boat building these days. The finished boat once launched below, quite a sirius build indeed ?<\/p>\n
