I've been waiting for Josh to chime in over hear. He's started welding too. We are barrowing a 240v tig and got an old mig (I think) for $50 bucks from the neighbor across the street. From the looks of Josh's work I'd say the tig is a lot easier to work with. For safety He has a sweet blue welding jacket with flames and works in his mechanics monkey suit. I have a monkey suit too for working on the 510

. I am enjoying grinding on the car. We are fortunately to have a welding supply place a mile from the house.
Good luck Scott with the practice
