The only thing I’d add to D’s list is that fumes from welding galvanized material are really deadly. I’m planning to buy a Millermatic 211 - supposed to be VERY user friendly, which is what I need. There’s a guy in the neighborhood who does beautiful multidisciplinary work (built a small teardrop trailer that’s a work of art), whose certified in both steel and aluminum - says he’ll teach me to weld with it and I’m not turning down the offer. I’m looking forward to adding more metalwork to my projects.
