Fortunately, I have a warehouse with 200amp service. I do plan on taking classes, but I'm a pretty good self-learner. Thought it might be satisfying to learn to stick two pieces of metal together on my own.

Buy a gas powered one. the time you spend with the torch running is minuscule compared to fabrication, set up and post welding activities.

I go to welding school; I'm in my 2nd semester. I went to welding school 30 years ago, too. I've been hitting and missing ever since. You can't teach yourself to weld....properly and totally safely. I don't care what others may say.
