Re: i want to start welding.....
Find somebody's used MIG setup for 150-200. Get something decent, not a HF POS. I've used a HF fluxcore. Poor thing 'bout had a heart attack trying to weld my downpipe and exhaust together. I've seen used Miller MIG setups sell for 200-250 with a regulator and short whip. All in working condition.

Simple rule: do not hold the ground clip with your hand while you weld :P
I had gloves, but there was a little hole in the left one. The stick accidently fall on the pipe while my hand was on the ground clip. Not a fun feeling at all.
Practice is the best way. Even with a cheap welder...

I can't weld that good or even consider my self a welder, but I have a HF flux core/gas set up. Its not a miller by any means but I've never had much problems doing exhaust or down pipes w/them. Only thing that sucks is the wire feed tends to go hay wire some times, but you get what you pay for I guess.
