I often get asked what type of things can be welded using a TIG MIG Welder and whether the use of a PLASMA CUTTER is really that necessary. With thanks to Ted for supplying the pics and video, if you were a teen in the 80’s you will instantly recognise your dream car at that time. If you have the time and patience you can weld and cut anything and manifest your dreams into reality.

The Interceptor is also available for hire, weddings, formals, revenge runs etc, check out https://www.facebook.com/MadMaxExperienceForHire/

You will need a TIG welder if you want to custom weld intricate components in the cabin

An AC DC Tig Welder helps if you are welding under the bonnet, great for ally and steel components

A metalmaster mig welder comes in handy when welding the body panels, look at the phatness

Number plate to suit, what an awesome build

A pic from the original movie, a time long ago before inverter welders were on the market and old clunky transformer welding machines were used. If only they had VRD protection in those days 🙂

Competitive pressure has seen welding gas prices in Australia fall to levels that favour the home welding enthusiast. Speedgas has been growing rapidly and supplies many thousands of customers across NSW, SA, QLD and VIC. Purchasing your welding gas cylinder has never been easier and with the swap and go system you simply return the empty gas bottle for a full swap.

During the exchange process you can select a different gas also as there are no restrictions as to what you swap to. Tokentools Welding Supplies can assist you with transitioning from your current rental cylinder to outright ownership in a few simple steps. We offer Pure Argon Welding Gas for TIG welders, an Argon CO2 Oxygen mix for Mig welding of mild steel known as Argon 5/2 and pure oxygen for Acetylene users.

We believe our prices for welding gas in Australia are very low and are happy to beat a competitors price with suitable documentation.

Current welding gas prices are as follows;

• C Size Cylinder – First Purchase – $195
• C Size Cylinder – Refill – $50
• D Size Cylinder – First Purchase – $339
• D Size Cylinder – Refill – $95
• E Size Cylinder – First Purchase – $490
• E Size Cylinder – Refill – $155
• G Size Cylinder – First Purchase – $550
• G Size Cylinder – Refill – $195

To understand how the cylinders stack up for value we have provided the table below showing how much initial ownership costs per litre of gas and also how much the refill cost is per litre pf welding gas. This table will assist in getting a better understanding of how our welding gas prices compare against the hire bottle arrangement. Remember there are no ongoing fees and charges when you buy your welding gas cylinder outright.

• C Size Cylinder – 600 Litres – First Purchase – 32.5 cents per litre
• C Size Cylinder – 600 Litres – Refill – 8.3 cents per litre
• D Size Cylinder – 1700 Litres – First Purchase – 20 cents per litre
• D Size Cylinder – 1700 Litres – Refill – 5.5 cents per litre
• E Size Cylinder – 4000 Litres – First Purchase – 12 cents per litre
• E Size Cylinder – 4000 Litres – Refill – 4 cents per litre
• G Size Cylinder – 8700 Litres – First Purchase – 6 cents per litre
• G Size Cylinder – 8700 Litres – Refill – 2.2 cents per litre

As evidenced by the above display, the biggest discount is available by purchasing a G Size welding gas cylinder. How does this stack up to the disposable argon cans that you can get at your local hardware store? The 2.2 Litre disposable welding gas bottles contain around 1000 grams of gas charge and at 21 degrees celcius and 1 atmosphere this is around 540 litres of gas. The cost of these is around $70 excluding shipping or $100 with shipping as they are dangerous goods. You also need a special welding gas regulator as they do not take the standard welding gas bottle gas regulator and they are around $70 also. For very infrequent use they are perhaps borderline cheaper but you can deduce with a few refills the cost of disposable cylinders will soon outweigh the outright ownership of your own welding gas bottle.

The burden of paying monthly gas bottle rental has been a thorn in the side of the weekend enthusiast for many years however the landscape is slowly shifting in their favour. What started many years ago in Sydney was the opportunity to purchase outright your very own welding gas cylinder, a small company called Speedgas started offering this amazing opportunity. Now supplier numbers have increased and we are also pleased to offer Speedgas cylinders from our store in Wyong.

Tokentools Welding Supplies offers welding gas cylinders for sale, never pay rent again. The gas cylinders are available in C, D, E, G sizes in pure argon or argon mix 52 which is comprised of 93% argon, 5% CO2 and 2% O2.

Once you purchase your cylinder it is your’s forever. When the gas has depleted simply return the empty cylinder to Tokentools Welding Supplies or any Speedgas distributor for a reasonably priced exchange.

Tokentools can offer shipping Australia wide and retrieval / swaps of empty cylinders is offered also. Due to shipping requirements, a dangerous goods declaration must accompany all cylinders therefore freight rates must be quoted individually. Give our staff a call on 1300 881 991 should you require our assistance in this most exciting and affordable welding gas revolution. Why rent when you can own?

When building our home I took into account that I would require space for a workshop.

I had a three car garage built but only opted for two car spaces. The third garage space was dedicated to the workshop area and a roller door was not installed. The ceiling in the garage is 2900mm to enable storage space and plenty of headroom. This is crucial, as you will sometimes need to ensure you have space for additional future requirements, from headroom to technology or automatic roller doors. There is no storage in the roof itself due to the design of the roof structure ( timber trusses ).

In my last house I did a similar thing on a smaller scale. Unfortunately that workshop was built in front of a roller door and was removed when we sold the house. A mate of mine ( Alex ) who now resides in Switzerland coined the name “Bootka” in relation to my workshops. “Bootka” is a Russian word that means booth. I like plenty of room but I also like things cosy. A Bootka always solves the problem well.

My intention was to contain all of the machine tools within the workshop room however things have gone a little askew. There was not enough room to accomodate the machinery so I have shifted the machine tools to the far side of the garage. I only have one car so it is no issue. I am very pleased at how things have turned out.

I have far more room to move when machining and am able to utilise the workshop area as an assembly / dissasembly zone for my various projects. I have also installed a desk and a PC which is critical for internet info at ones fingertips.
