Well, I just read this whole thread and at the local farm place(Orchelyns, wrong spelling I know, basically a chain store I think) they have all the name brands mentioned here(Lincoln, Hobart, and Miller). Any ideas on what would be the best welder that would be on the budget for a 14 year old wanting to learn to weld and do some sheet metal replacement? The cheapest they had that I saw was a $200-300 Miller arc welder on 110v. Of course, arc welding is supposed to be harder than MIG welding but my brother says he can arc weld but not MIG weld.
