A good MIG makes you look like a welding genius.

Yes it does! haha.

this sounds like the welder for me. most of my welds look like a picaso. my arc welds are even worse. id love to be able to do that kinda stuff.

Great advice guys, good to read decent stuff instead of jibber. I run a twin cyl trade tools renegade in my van, im happy with that. Onto the welder i totally agree with having spares at hand, nothing worse than saving a quid but spending a fortune on spares and waiting a lifetime for them. i wouldnt mind getting a decent wee welder as cheap as i can afford but still good enough for at least fixing broken pedal boxes and likes, and modifiying tools. Thats one down of havong my father in the Uk still , he is a Gun on the mig, he has put floor pans in countless Kombis and Beetles the poor bugger. He still does Porsches, Audis and the likes in his spare time.He is a brickie go figure
Self taught at the welding but gun., yeah one of those types!!!
TAFE courses are hard to get well up here anyway. 1st one i see running up here im on it. I was taught a tech college with gas merey to weld exhausts and braze the odd thing.
Mig is a great weapon
