I want to add I learned how to weld on a Lincoln AC cracker box stick welder.
At the time they cost $98.00 in the 70's.
I made the highest grade in the class with my welding test 99%.
The reason the teacher didn't give me 100% is because I could weld better than him.
The class said this not me.

When I first welded with DC I thought I had died and went to heaven.

Stick welders will let you weld outside MIG make you buy gas flux core wire feed is okay but good ones are expensive and they will run MIG too.

TIG is out of the question expensive mine a Miller was $1,800 16 years ago but I can stick weld with it too.
