Starting out - best type of welding to learn?

Barrbeast · 26-03-2015, 01:34

So I turn 30 a week on Monday and since most of my family point blank refuse to buy me bits for the Trol

(I just want some stainless pipes and other bits for the snorkel...) I've asked if they can get me some welding lessons as it's one thing I've never done but quite fancied learning.

There's a choice of learning either Mig or Arc. Arc is the one I've seen other folk do the most but on reading up I reckon Mig would be the handiest, particularly for working on the Trol.

What do you guys think?
