I would like to do be able to do light duty home and automotive welding - 
mostly sheet metal, and nothing more than 1/8 inch thick is ever likely.  I 
have never done it before, but have been reading The Welder's Handbook and 
would like to purchase an inexpensive MIG Welder to get me started.  I doubt 
I will use this tool more than a half dozen times a year, so I really don't 
want to pay any more than I have to.  On the other hand, I imagine too cheap 
a welder will make learning a lot harder, so I am looking for a good 
compromise.

Harbor Freight currently has a dual MIG for sale.  It would allow me to work 
with or without gas, and at $200 it is in the ballpark of what I wanted to 
spend.  Does anyone have any experience with this or similar setups?  Is it 
a good 'starter'?

Thanks,
