Now, I am sure that all manner of expert welders with years of experience 
are going to tell me I am an idiot, but here goes:

I have a Campbell and Hausfeld welder I got off e-bay 3 years ago. I use it 
pretty regularly, on both sheet metal and brackets, tubing, etc. It is a 
110V one, and I have had pretty good luck welding just about everything on 
my car. I use C25 (Argon/CO2), and would never go back to flux core MIG 
except under duress-smoky, dirty, ugly welds. It was not expensive, and has 
been very reliable.
Welding is great because it opens whole new avenues for problem solving, and 
fabricating. I would like to weld aluminum (and I know that with a bottle 
of argon and aluminum wire I could with my mig gun), but TIG seems like the 
most elegant way to do that-and finding an affordable TIG setup has been 
difficult. The Miller Econotig looks like the best deal so far.

I'd rather be doing something that people write about rather than reading about what someone has done.
