WELDING? Does any one have any info Options

[Digndoug]

Im looking into getting into welding. I would like to learn how to do it, for projects and some things. I dont know anything about it. I would like to know what would be a good welder to get and what price range. I was looking at some at sears for around $250-$350.. Any sugestions or tips?

Thanks

i have access to:

millermatic 210(mig)
dynasty 200dx series(tig)
and a miller plasma cutter(unsure of what model)

and after using the cheaper walmart and sears welders, the miller stuff blows them away. they actually make welding easier. granted, those three pieces of equipment total up to over $6k, and thats with a 25% student discount

i first started welding in 8th grade metal shop. in the past year my friends picked up the miller equipment because we started doing a lot of heavy fabrication on our cars.
