I will say it again and it keeps getting forgotten due to the difficulty of skill, But Learning to TIG weld this stuff is way better. Once you Learn to work with the TIG you will never go back, unless the situation needs it. It is worth the effort.
I don't care who you are, You will never have the results with the MIG you can have with the TIG. Both processes can be done at Home without a problem.

Now you're exploiting my handicaps, Tigless with a small compressor.
A baby Thermal Arc 185 tig is definitely on the want list. Though I do like the challenge of making the mig work in this application. When I bought the mig I thought it would suffice, I quickly learned a lot of the "stuff" I envisioned doing was smaller scale and required a tig to deliver satisfactory appearance in my eyes.
It's still fun improving the skillsets, but funding the recreation gets spendy fast!
Some of the hand-welded titanium tig work produced by Akrapovic on motorcycle exhausts is just pure artwork in my eyes.
Thanks for the input, I can't learn enough.
