I'll tell ya I could fix this stuff with a welder, a drill press and a file. If I were to get oxygen/acetylene I would have to invest several hundred dollars in equipment and leases. Before I can even think about tig or mig I would not only need a 220 line, I would have to get my wiring upgraded from 100 amp to 200 amp service. For the amount of welding I need to do and can foresee doing it just isn't practical.
