I have never used a welder period, but I'm pretty confident in my hands. There has never been a trade I couldn't do. Simply takes patience, determination and a natural skill for fabrication.

I have to agree to disagree...
Now what if you shelled out lots of money on that new fancy welder with all the doo-dad's.. But only ended up using maybe 3 times?
Now... You can buy a very capable, yet older< TIG welder for cheap. They're bulky, but reliable as fuck and cheap as fuck. I spent $400 on my TIG... With a 5-310 amp range.
For the average person. This is MORE than enough. There would be no point in spending $$$$ where it's not needed.
Unless you weld for a living. Weld day in and day out. There's no point. The average person won't end up using all the AC features on something like a Dynasty.
Hell.. I DO weld day in and day out and I don't even use a fancy machine.
