Nate,
I am the ultimate amatuer welder... so I went for the inexpesive setup. It is good for small welding jobs and non-critical cosmetic stuff. All purchased at Home Depot. Lincoln Electic 110V wire welder + Applicable Mig Kit+Welding gloves. Mig bottle from local ABS and the most important thing in my opinion..... inexpensive (45.00) autodarkening welding helmet from Harbor Freight Tools. Total cost about 250.00 for the welder and mig kit plus helmet and gloves. Pratice a bit and have fun! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Todd |
