Some time ago I lashed out on some mig welding equipment, with a view to doing some - surprisingly enough - mig welding. Unfortunately, a lot of life has got in the way; today was the first day I was going to have the time to get it going and play. I've been rather looking forward to it, consoling myself that it was all sitting there in the shedde waiting for me.
So. Set it up, connect up. Wire, cables, gas bottle. Oh. I have to turn the gas on now, don't I? It wouldn't have hurt either the supplier of the welder or the gas, both of whom knew I was a novice, to suggest that a gas bottle key for less than a fiver would be required.
Bum bum bum.
