Ok guys, heres the deal.
Im looking at spending my tax returns already, and the one main thing I want is a welder. With as much rust as we get here in NY, I either need to learn to do it myself, or pony up to get someone else to do it for me. I would rather learn myself. I am very patient, and can generally do anything I really put my mind to.
So, being completely new at this, where should I start? I have a garage with only 120 right now, but could be setup for 220 if need be.
I want something I can learn with, but will also be able to do what I need down the road. Right now, Im just concerned with exhausts, body panels, minor patches, etc. I dont see myself building a tube frame anytime soon.
With my job future being uncertain at the moment, I would definately like to keep the cost to a minimum, and I am considering used (ebay,etc) as well.
Anyone out there with some advice to a newbie where to start, what to look for, what I should get to fit my needs, etc?
Thanks a lot. -Jason
