I've been reading a lot about welding. Unfortunately, I don't have
any real auto repair / welding training. Therefore, even the buzz
words floating around (MIG, Gas, Arc) are a bit beyond me.
Can someone please spend a few minutes and post a VERY BASIC
description of welding? Specifically, I would like to learn the
following :
1) What kinds of welding equipment are available for home use?
2) What is the cost difference?
3) Which are the easiest / safest to use?
4) Do I need a course to use them?
5) Can each type be used on anything? In other words, if I own a MIG
setup (not that I know what that is), can I use it on a door panel
and on my exhaust?
Again, a very basic course on welding would be appreciated (long
winded but informative is quite ok). Thanks !
