[alfa] Welders

["Allen Mitchell" <allenom@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Now, I am sure that all manner of expert welders with years of experience 
are going to tell me I am an idiot, but here goes:

I have a Campbell and Hausfeld welder I got off e-bay 3 years ago.  I use it 
pretty regularly, on both sheet metal and brackets, tubing,  etc.  It is a 
110V one, and I have had pretty good luck welding just about everything on 
my car.  I use C25 (Argon/CO2), and would never go back to flux core MIG 
except under duress-smoky, dirty, ugly welds.  It was not expensive, and has 
been very reliable.
Welding is great because it opens whole new avenues for problem solving, and 
fabricating.  I would like to weld aluminum (and I know that with a bottle 
of argon and aluminum wire I could with my mig gun), but TIG seems like the 
most elegant way to do that-and finding an affordable TIG setup has been 
difficult.  The Miller Econotig looks like the best deal so far.
