So really it's looking for a decent inexpensive flux or buying this arc, arc WORKS but flux style is easier... Isn't flux essentially mig but with the shielding gas "built in" to the spool? Anyhow, the guy still hasn't emailed me back (didn't leave a # so I couldn't call) so its not like I COULD buy it...

I'll keep looking... Thanks for the great input, guys!
I think a Flux core mig is just the thing you need. I am amazed of the love for welding I have now.. Mine is a TSC mig and I have done some amazing stuff with it. I have actually welded my special needs boy a swing and made him other various things like ramps for his wheelchair. Very versatile these flux core migs are. Research, buy new flux core and read directions FULLY. and read and watch you tubes DIY vids.
