So I want to learn to weld

[PaxtonShelby]

Hi fellas. I’m thinking about learning to weld. I’m tired of not being able to do this stuff myself. The goal is to be able to do floorpans patching and other minor repairs. There’s a chance that down the road future projects could include things like Crown Vic front suspension on an old F100. So I guess I need a medium duty mig setup. I have 220v in the garage but I’m not sure if I need that much juice for a medium duty welding setup. Also, I like 110v just because it is portable.

Any advice is welcome. I would like to get a good brand, and have heard that Miller and Lincoln are excellent. Any other suggestions? What models have you used and liked?

I need it all - from welder to mask to gloves to tanks to gauges to a cart, clecos, air powered hole punch and whatever else I’d need.

I could be interested in a used setup, provided it works like it should and does what I need it to do.

And yeah - I will have to learn how it all works. I will be checking out YouTube and the like.

Thanks in advance for the help!
