Ok cool. Didn't want to come off as a know-it-all, and sometimes that happens when I post from work as I am posting between working (I really hate this desk work stuff), and unfortunatly when I post from memory I get things a little off from time to time if I don't check my references first (Had a TBI).

Anywho. I picked up my little stick welder from Lowes for right around three hundred. And while I am sure that you could probably find a decent deal on an old MIG welder from a welding shop that is getting new gear, or even a school that is selling their old stuff, I doubt that you will find something cheaper.

The little welder I have, the torch, and the angle grinder are about all I can fit in my little shop along with my forge and my wood working stuff, but after I start this new job I would like to build something bigger, so I can get more stuff.
