Wanting to learn to weld

Hi Everyone,
My plan is to eventually build a custom motorcycle. I have always been
fascinated with the art of welding and think this would be a good
thing to learn prior to the build, just in case I will need it for
moving tabs or brackets. I have never welded anything before but have
always wanted to learn. Can anyone suggest a brand/type of welder I
could look for? Sorry for the vague type of question but I guess I
have to start somewhere. Thanks Rich.

 

Good on ya! Try the sci.engr.joining.welding newsgroup. Buncha helpful
people there. Also <http://www.metalworking.com/> and
<http://www.weldingfaq.com/index.asp>

I'm sure there are many more if you poke around in Google.

Hi Everyone,

Without knowing your budget it's tough to answer.

I bought and learned on a Miller Econotig (approx $1300). It's a nice
machine and comes with a video to help you get started. Post back with
a price range and people will be able to help you figure something
out.
