Hi Eastcoaster,
Nothing wrong with tig. I just don't use one. They are an excellent way to weld...gas welding is a much simpler process requiring less expensive equipment and is very high quality. Hi Geoff, Nothing wrong with that! Mig is a great all around welding method, and a good compromise. Nate, Most folks will recommend a mig as the easiest form of welding to learn. If you get serious about doing the best possible work at some point you should try gas welding or tig. Here is an article I wrote on welding and metal-finishing which might be of use to you: http://www.type2.com/library/body/wlsh.htm John www.ghiaspecialties.com |
