    TSC carries Hobart for reasonable prices
    you may check at Sam's, that's where David got teh best deal for his arc welder though, but I'm not sure if they have migs

    well since i'm goin home this summer, my dad has 1 miller arc welder and a welder/generator, and my grandpa has a miller arc i don't think i'll have a problem accessing one, and i want a mig for some of the small stuff, but i can weld w/ an arc, it usually isn't a pretty weld, but i've yet to break one
