Too many years ago I took courses in CAD, CAM, OA/SMAW welding, machining, all kinds of stuff. Pity I never used any of it. Recently I've come into some actual garage/man space so I've been putting together a hobby welding kit.
Lincoln AC-225
Victor 100FC torch
Both of these worked out great. I can cut, I can bend, I can braze, I can weld. I still wanted convenient ways of cutting/grinding bar stock, so I had to pony up for some more toys on the cheap.
HF 4.5" angle grinder, 8" bench grinder, 14" cut-off saw
My technique is still a little rough (like I said, it's been a while) but I'm sticking pieces of metal together without blowing holes in them, so it's all good.
Cheers,
-David
