Welders

Thank you everyone who helped me out. I got a hobart 140 welder to start with and learn. I still need a welders helmet and gloves, but im not sure what else i would need to get started. Mind you im a beginner and i dont want to spend too much on this. What would you recommend as far as "necessary accessories"? I was just going to buy a cheap helmet and gloves from harbor freight unless there is an overwhelming reason why i shouldnt. Any other suggestions on this are welcomed!
An assortment of vicegrips, clamps, magnetic angles, flangers, copper backers, slag brushes, flap discs, zip wheels, roloc discs, mig pliers, marking pens, weldable primer, tips, nozzles, and the absolute most important thing of all...a good work clamp. The one that came with your machine is for keeping potato chips fresh. Poor contact will cause you all sorts of problems.
