I am probably the furthest thing from a quality, experienced welder, but maybe that's exactly what you want. MIG is by FAR easier, but unless you are using a 220V unit, you won't get the penetration and strength with a margin of error for something major (rock sliders come to mind). For 1/8" however, a 110V MIG would be insanely easier and would fill the gaps nicely. Try a friend's. For that matter, come on up to Littleton and give mine a go.
