The old way of welding sheet metal with acetylene is tough and takes a lot
of practice but with a mig welder a person can learn to weld quickly. It is
as easy as using a caulking gun and the hardest part is getting it adjusted
correctly. Once adjusted it works easy every time to the point that a
person can weld a dot or spot weld without a hood by turning their face away
and pressing the button. -- Bill --

I will dissent. I have HAD to do far too much
work on far too many cars back in the days of
poverty. I wouldn't mind having a really grand
garage and supervise the work, but only if I had
enough money to hire a couple of full-time
worker-bees. As it is, if I won the Lottery, I'd
probably send it to White Post.
Besides, I never could weld a decent weld despite
thirty-five years of trying to do so.
Shoemaker, stick to your last!
