Hey all, I asked my wife (a prolific artist) what she would like for her birthday and she said "a welder"! Seems she wants to do a little metal sculpting. I admit, I could use one also. However, I know nothing about what is out there (brands, types, etc.) and need advice as to what to buy. Since this is a test, it needs to be easier to use but I don't want to rapidly outgrow it. Also, it will probably be just for steel work. Suggestions?

I wanted to learn how to weld. I grabbed a bunch of pics of gokarts off the web. Bought a Harbor Freight MIG welder and went to town. I did opt for going to a 'real' welding shop to pick up a nice dual guage/regulator kit and my own bottle of Argon/CO2 gas. That way if I ever outgrow the HF welder, I can keep the nice reg/bottle setup. The welder at HF was about $175... the tank/reg/guages was about $250. I've had this welder going on 2+ years and haven't needed to upgrade to the lincol, miller or hobart... YET... lol. However, there is a distinct difference in the 'sound' of a lincoln vs. the harbor freight. The miller get's a much nicer sound to it. Must be all the real electronics vs. the harbor freight old school windings. Anyway... I've built the gokart, headboard, foot board, welder cart, entertainment center, worked on my project cars, friends cars, etc etc etc with my HF welder. For as much as I use it, I don't think I'll replace it until it dies and forces me into it.
