I would recomend taking some welding classes first, that allows you to see how good you are at it and possibly try out a few different machines and see what you like. Usually you buy the type of machine you learn on so your familiar with it

X2... I took a "continued education" class out at kirkwood. Cost me a few hundred buck, was like 4 hours a night, 2-3 nights a week IIRC. Well worth the money/time I spent....

yea if i do that ill have to wait until winter im at the shop about 12-14 hours a day. Ive got a friend of a friend who welds all day at work then builds sprint car cages at night so i think should be able to show me the ropes. thanks for the advice

show you the ropes and then let you hang yourself with them...

In all honesty, getting a strong, safe, leak free TIG weld isn't TOO hard, getting it to look really nice on the other hand can be a bitch.
