Now THAT is cool. ..and I always wanted to get into welding my own stuff. I wonder if it's really tough to get a decent weld with that cheap of a setup?

For a small amount more money, pick up a cheapie AC stick welder and attach a torch and gas...you can now do aluminum as well...perhaps not the best square wave method, but quite workable...

Great idea if you are stuck some where in the middle of no where, but not the ideal High Frequency setup you want to TIG weld with.

Not for quality and safety purposes at least.

I've seen Toyota alts used on 4x4's for welding in the field when something breaks... they actually had it mounted under the hood so it was always with them...neat stuff, the off-road guys are really smart folks.
