Hi noobguy..
as you can tell, you already met the local grumpy old men
Don't be intimidated, they mean well almost all the time!
And if they don't, the superior grumpiness of my broom will bristle their mouths straight
Now, you'll find that the easier you make it for us to help,
the more likely it is to get a quick and good response.
If people get the wrong idea about you (being too lazy, being too stupid, being overall unpleasant to converse with)
they'll just ignore you and your requests mostly.
And that's when "making the efort" comes in,
a properly placed post (correct forum, decent spelling etc...)
helps alot.
I know I know, especially for those that visit with a phone, it's annyoing as frick to capitalize or use punctuation etc.
I don't bother myself when texting tbh.
BUT if you ask somone to take the effort to explain something to you,
or search something for you or whatever..
at least TRY to put as much effort into the question just to show it's worth answering it
That's what Nosandwich was trying to say (well trying not to yell rather

)
Take it as what it is: A
suggestion, not more not less.
Now, welcome aboard,
maybe take a good look around to see what you can find about welding and so on,
there's some solid information out there already
