  • Looking at prices, I think TIG is going to be too expensive. It’s to try fix up that DIY cargo bike into something usable, and maybe a few smaller odd jobs to get the feel for welding.

    Let’s say MIG, as a beginner.

    Edit: wait I’m watching YT vids about cheap ‘MIG’ and learning that gasless actually means flux core, therefore really not great for anything.

    Is stick welding impossible?

  • Is stick welding impossible?

    Not impossible but I wouldn’t recommend it for thin bike tubes. It’s a bit agricultural.

  • @wence thanks, useful for pricing but not local so would exponentially increase cost/effort to actually get it.

    @Tijmen hmm thanks, so really I am stuck with getting frustrated with MIG/fake MIG, or ponying up for TIG.
