If I were to get a mig, where would I get the gas? I see empty bottles for sale and I know work gets them on a delivery service but where do you guys get them for the home use? If you don't have much welding experience, I would suggest getting gas (Argon mix), it's much easier to get nicer looking welds for a beginner. Be advised,flux cored wire is EXPENSIVE!

I have a stick welder that fits my needs like trailer repairs or tractor stuff. I used bed frame and rusty fence posts for my last project! I am horrible but getting better....slowly. If the right deal I may get another. I have passed up a few cheap flux core only machines. Most of the youtubes have been mig. It looks so much easier but so does an experienced stick welder

The cleaner the metal around where you will be welding the easier it is to do a good weld. A flapper wheel on your grinder is your friend.
