Welding help & advice

Retroron is certainly the voice of reason.... But the art of welding is a craft. And it takes time to get good at it. I myself got a Mig about 12 years ago because relying on people to do the work got old and I wanted to start melting metal lol.... It is one of the most useful resources in the garage. In fact once you start welding the light bulb will go off and you will ask yourself why did I wait so long lol....

A trip to HF can get you enough grinders, cutters, and such on the cheap to get you going. If you can spring for nicer tools that is OK too....

As for what you want, get the Gas and just be done with it. Later on the down the road if you get into all this I would say a Fluxcore machine may be handy and worthy of a purchase. Check Clist for a machine and you may run up on a deal.

For the do it yourselfer a welder is a life game changer.
