Just read this thread and I like it, great work.

Welders are like golf clubs --- a great golfer can hit any club in the bag - or borrow yours and still pound it. Welders are the same way - in the right hands a guy can weld anything well even with the bare bones machine.
I've said it before on Lat G ---- Nobody really "needs" a TIG machine... this is the last thing I'd buy for a home user. They're very expensive and they take lots of skills (all can be acquired with practice!). They're nice to have around and I prefer it over MIG. Once you can TIG - MIG is for farmers to repair a tractor LOL But day in and day out - all anyone really needs is a GOOD MIG machine. I'd rather see someone buy a real decent machine that they'll have the rest of their life and it's useful.
A lift! OMG once you have one - there's no turning back!
A MIG -- with some skill a guy can do anything
A 2 or 2 1/2" Belt machine like the BurrKing 760... you have no idea how much this gets used!
A BIG - GOOD Compressor... first tool to buy in any situation.
A big - good - bead blast cabinet... another tool a guy doesn't need... until he owns one. Either buy one or find a friend with one!
A METAL heavy duty work table...
But a TIG isn't on the list of must owns.
