At nearly 56 years old, learning to weld is still on my list.
I would like to learn, and I would like to acquire a basic welder primarily for auto repair.
My goal is to be able to weld to remove stuck bolts, axles, etc. as well as repair brackets and other simple parts. I really don't know much about how to weld, or what welders are good, or good values.
So, how would you guys that DO weld recommend I go about learning, and what tool and equipment would you recommend to start out?
I do have 220V outlets in my garage for the tablesaw and dust collector, so I am not limited to 110V. Budget isn't really an important consideration. I prefer quality over cost.
