not done any welding, hoping to take a course next year on it, but looking for some type of welder and would these be any good, and what type of money do you think they could go for.

if these go for the same price as a good mig welder which would be the better mig or tig ?

thanks

Andrew

Both of those look O.K.

Mig is easier for a novice to pick up,
Tig a little more difficult, but not that hard.


My advise would be to have a go with someones BEFORE you buy.
If you quickly get the hang of it you will want a better welder,
if you don't, then it's pointless buying one with features you will never use.

Hope this helps.

thanks for that, booked myself on a car restoration course in Accrington for 10 weeks in january, where you learn differnet aspects like gas,mig and tig welding and lead filling.
and also got details for a welding course in preston for gas,mig and tig and plasma cutting starting in April.

looking to do a restoration next, My eldest god son is 17 next year and wants a mini, so i thought nice project to start to learn on. and then i want to do a locost. just have to try and get the Tiger in storage or may have to sell.

Andrew,

If you want to pre-familerise yourself with mig your more than welcome to pop round and have a play with my clarke.

id also be interested in the details of that car restoration course

..........and if you want to learn about car body welding then a mini will definitely make a good project
