Thanks so much for all the great feedback...
I appears that the MIG w/gas is probably the way to go. I'm going to check it out.
Also...
Guard007 introduced the Henrob 2000 Welder... I took a look at their sight and it looks like a pretty compelling product. All you need are tanks, sticks, regulator, and safety gear. Take a look!

Thanks again!
