All good suggestions so far. Remember you get what you pay for. And not always necessarily name brand tools.

I use a 110V 135 amp Miller Mig Welder and have had no problems with it so far. It works well off my Motorhome Generator or and a heavy extension cord. My TIG is a combo 110 or 220 Volt Miller, but I haven't unpacked it yet to try off the generator. Plasma Cutter is under consideration.

I can't strees this enough, Get in the Habit of working with safety in mind.
Besides Gloves,and welding jackets there is one other thing that need serious attention.

Guys, get at least TWO pair of GOOD Safety Glasses. The Type that you can and will wear all day long. Not those cheap ones that distort your vision and scratch up at the slighest touch. Your going to be throwing steel fragments everywhere and you only have two eyes. Not to mention Eye Surgeons are not cheap. I say TWO pair cause your gonna misplace one pair.

If you get to like building stuff then you'll spend a lifetime collecting tools. Enjoy the journey.
