tig is nice, it makes awesome beads. but welding with mig is stronger and faster. also for beginners its easier.

Thanks for the imput. Probably go with the moron proof welder lol. But got to check prices, know someone that sells them that I can get a discount from.

I got mine from Menard's it was like 260 bucks, and it came with all the ---- to hook up either gas or use a flux-core wire (crappy).

Even with flux core, though, if I take my time it makes some strong ------- welds, and its easy-like pulling a trigger and spraying metal on wherever you want it.
