[QUOTE="yackaboo, post: 431623, member: 14125"] Big Red is right.. go for a Mig welder, a TIG is fine for welding pieces of metal that are nice and tight to each other and you use a filler rod that you feed by hand into the moulten pool of metal you create with the arc of the torch, MIG is great as the wire is fed into the weld by the machine and you can fill gaps up easily. Forget about welding ally... its a bugger to do and the material has to be REALLY clean and free from contamination, sometimes you need to warm the part you are going to weld up a bit and from what I can remember you have to run the welding current on AC rather than DC for normal steels..
