the trick is. buy a Mig/wire welder from a tore for cheap. along with some metal and casters. weld up your own welding cart for the welder. this will get you situated and used to welding.... I believe you will be very confident with a welder about halfway through the cart.

practice practice practice......

I can arc weld better than I can Mig..... but I am doing better now and look forward to finishing up a few pipes.
