I found this comparison of 14 flux core MIG welders via the MAKE: blog this afternoon, and it’s like an answer to my prayers. I’ve always wanted to weld some more—my experience was limited to some very basic lessons taught by my roommate Pat after hours in the sculpture lab at MICA—and there are many things I’d like to be able to do/build/fabricate given the time, money and equipment. Besides, I think real men should know how to weld. Meanwhile, the site is now in my permanent RSS feed. Any site that recommends a pocket knife as a Father’s Day gift is OK with me.
