Yeah? Can you weld? I need someone to give me some pointers on MIG
welding.


Get a good MIG welder and practice. Go to the local college and take a
class. The Art welding class is good, if they have one. Now TIG is hard,
but mig is easier than stick. I have a Lincoln 180C. And get a good
autodarkening helmet. Not a cheap Harbor Freight one. A Jackson or Tilman
would be my choice. The 180C comes with a spool gun for aluminum. Just
supply an Argon bottle and make sure you feed enough argon.
