I'm happy typing, just wanna stop it substituting random crap when I make a teeny mistake.

Curious what the qualification would be - I qualified as a welder, being sent on a course when I was unemployed, although I could already weld, it got the dole off my back! there must be hundreds of people in little garages around the country with oxy acetylene kit, most learned in the school of life. I'm curious to what your qualification was that didn't include the safe use of welding and cutting gasses, the most basic C&G part one course covers it. That's not what I said, I am qualified, I asked what qualifications were needed, as in mandatory, as you implied, or have you been dealing with CRT for too long, making up terms and conditions etc being an infectious disease 😁

There are no formal requirements to hold any certificates of competency in Oxy Fuel cutting. Some firms may opt for money for old rope training courses such as this. www.bocsafetytraining.com/oxy-fuel-gases.htmI covered every aspect of this online course at tech as a 17 year old on City and Guilds 3268, C&G is a well thought out award that allows a student to obtain training and certification in all the relevant areas they wish to study. Oxy Fuel welding (and cutting but to a lesser degree) is less common in the manufacturing sector due to advancements in other processes - profile cutting with the advent of cheap plasma, laser and water jet equipment being good examples. The red and black spanner is essential in a maintenance and repair field though. It ranks nearly as highly as a grinder and a gert big hammer as must have tools for the job C&G is a good training. I did a BTEC in Marine Engineering (2 year) and there were C&G chaps (1 year) at the same establishment. They had far more hands-on experience in the workshop that way but probably not as much in-depth theory training as you get on a BTEC. We were separated out into two streams, C&G (craftsman) and BTEC (Technician) largely based on attainment at school - I arsed about a bit in my GCSEs so although I should have been on the BTEC I was plenty happy enough receiving the training I did. Bit of hard graft on the job meant it made no real difference to me anyway.

Good luck.

Good luck. Ffs! You said Plus you need to be qualified to cut with gas, its not for pissing about with, there are potentially lethal accidents if you don't follow correct procedures. I nicely asked what the qualification was. I'm genuinely curious. You implied it was mandatory. Others agreed with me that there was no such requirement. I gently poked fun, while asking you to clarify. That is discussion, not "starting an argument". Anyway, you started it, ner ner ne ner ner! 😂😂😂 Edited to add, on reflection, perhaps I should have asked what the regulations are that make it mandatory, because there are several qualifications.

Read more: thunderboat.boards.net/thread/1653/scrap-boat-worth?page=3#ixzz4bxbtrOnn ETA, I'd be more concerned about the poorly skilled Muppets nailing new boats together than one man and his gas axe doing for an old teabag.

I know, also understand the risks, I've done the trick with the cigarette packet full of the right ratio of gas, even a tiny amount makes a hell of a bang 😈😱. Acetylene cylinders are a bomb waiting to happen. I just don't see why I was accused of being deliberately argumentative.
