Hey All,

After some shopping around auto body shops to fix my rusty quarter panels, I went ahead and ordered some patch panels. I'm sacrificing my WRX as I learn.

With that being said, I'm looking to purchase my first welder and subsequently learn how to weld. Dumb idea? Yeah, probably, but I'm going to learn one way or another and now is the time. I've purchased some books (lol) and have been watching loads of the ol 'tube on how-to and things to not do etc. I'm going to get some scrap pieces as well and not really start on the wrx.

I'm leaning towards just getting a cheapie MIG setup from Harbor freight to start. Any welders out there that can guide a tard like myself?

You can get away with a cheap mig/flux core welder if you are only doing sheet metal. If you ever plan to do more, buy a better welder if you have a 220 plug in your garage.

Watch some videos, wire welding is exceptional easy compared to stick or oxy/acytylene

I barely use my mig anymore since i bought a tig unless i have to weld anything bigger than half a inch

Stack them dimes

This post seems mean to me

It’s a welding term, give it a google
