"Homemade Angle Grinder Stand"


It's just a MIG welder per seeing the gun early on. Didn't watch the
rest. You still need to know what you're doing with one. They don't
just squirt welds out like a caulk gun. There's the old, famous Gunner
spare tire mount story if one thinks it is so easy

You can buy a cheap one from HF for $200 or buy a commercial machine
from maybe $1500 and up...

Forget MIG - likely just flux-core - and I can buy a 130 amp FDS
flux core welder for $128 CANADIAN - thats a Benjamin for you
Americans.
