You dont have to read back any distance to find me admitting that. I cant strike an arc worth a flip. I cant mig weld very pretty either. I can weld something for my use and although it might not work pretty it holds together well and that is why I weld things is to hold them together. These guys that make things and know what they are doing is great. There are a lot of us on this website who dont make hotrolled cylinders. Airplanes or even Propane tanks, we just fix things that we broke on our tractor equipment or we fabricate small items. We get along just fine with a mig. If you have the budget for one then why spend a lot of time learning to arc weld correctly. Life is too short. Grab a mig and some steel and enjoy.
