How about a flat pack and some beers for a perky @veitnamcam ?

I dont really want to cant really perk after hours cos gotta get home so wife can go to work and weekends is kids or hunting.

step one, buy a cheap arse mig and a bottle of argon.
step two, buy a roll of 1.2mm alloy wire(might get away with 1.0 mm but will have to be real carefull to keep the lead fairly straight)
step three stick it together and practice on some scraps.
step four weld the bugger up.

I do 90% of our alloy mig welding with a cheap 180?amp single phase mig welder. got to be a wee bit carfull to keep the lead straightish not having a pull hand peice but its all good, only get the miller pulse pushmepullyou big clumsy prick of a thing out when I have to.
