Buy a hobby welder, and have a good experienced friend show you how to use it, or take a welding class. Believe it or not, I taught James how to weld.

Get a good 110-volt gas mig welder and an auto-darkening helmet for starters. You guys have stores that sell stuff for ridiculously low prices, so I'll leave the actual brands and models for those who know where to get them.

110 sounds good....dunno about 220 though......my dad knows how to weld????? i don't think so though, um, so i suppose i will teach myself or see if home depot has a course on it

Yeah, if you want true danger, do all your practice welding without a helmet or shield on and dont wear gloves or any protective gear. Weld upside down as much as possible too without a shirt on. That is true danger. Of course, you will go blind and get a whole lot of little burns all over your body and your fingers will all get burned so you wont be able to type anymore. But hey, if you want danger, that is the sure way. I really dont think you want to do that though as you wont be able to post 500 to 600 times a month anymore with so much off topic stuff or ideas you think up in your young mind.

I may be the only one to say it, but I can assure you I am not the only one thinking it.

yeah...but you all miss me whenever i leave

home run...its outta here!

what is wrong with you people.....why must i always have to defend myself

So are you serious, or just teasing us with another idea you've been thinking about??


MIG/gas if you can afford it (instead of the dirtier flux core/gasless cheapo junk).

For most 914 work (up to 1/8"), 110 powered is fine.

You can do the price shopping thing (kinda like buying a buncha cheap clone parts to build a computer), but I think it's worth finding a local shop you trust... the place you would buy gas from anyway... talk to the guys there and get to know them. They'll help you get a decent deal. Miller is a reliable name.
