Default MIG welding ok?

I want to build my own log type manifold, DP, charge piping, etc. Unfortunately, if I go drop a grand on a TIG welder my old lady is probably gonna set me on fire. I can talk her into letting me buy a MIG though.

Would it be ok to use a MIG welder to build a manifold?

I drop 2500 bones on this lil puppy and I am still hiding it from my old lady. Gotta love seperate bank accounts.





Oh yeah, if you don't know what this is. It's a Miller Dynasty 200DX Tig/Stick welder. This my Most expensive tool I ever spent in my life, but it's well worth it.

Yeah,a Mig welder will do a manifold.
