recently a neighbour asked me to repair his 8x4 trailer home made by someone with the axle too far back after he lent it to someone who overloaded it and bent the drawbar so i cut a v in drawbar and pushed it down to straighten then welded it vertical and overhead with my engine welder and job done.... i have been welding since 1975 with no problems having no qualifications .... i like welding something that is not straight forward... the same neighbour has asked me to fit the grab from an old muck grab onto a shear grab frame, the grab will need to be narrowed by 6 inches and welding will be vertical and overhead where possible and i will be using rods bought from Screwfix for a tenner a box .....

All very good until something goes wrong ....

It might not, but if some one was to get injured would rather have a qualification to show that i was competent to do my job. Same reason people do their PA1 & PA2 for spraying or your driving test

I appreciate what you are saying and I agree as poor quality welding could cause serious accident ...

I would happily do my own repairs but would not be so keen for a neighbour! litigation and greedy lawyers
