Default Another Lurker

Hello my name is Joe and I live in Northamptonshire England, I work as a mig welder but have been dabbling in gas welding whenever I get the chance, I'm ok at fusing 1mm mild steel together as a tack weld and do some small runs but as soon as I blow a hole I have a problem adding filler rod and end up just making the hole bigger, any advice would be appreiciated.
Also could someone tell me what size tip to use on 1mm steel sheet? ( are American and English tips sized the same? )

I also purchased a copy of David's DVD and was glad I did as without his help I would have tried to 'BUY' my way into learning to metal shape by purchasing the obligatory tools like ewheel, planishing hammer ect.
Now with a few hand tools some bought and some made I am making real progress and have just finished my second bowl.
My next project is to try to recreate David's motorbike tank in steel and I will post my progress as I go along.
Any other ideas as learning projects would also be appreiciated.

Thanks
Joe D
