I've got a Miller 211. It's great because it can be either 110 or 220. You're looking at $1k, but for Miller quality it is worth it

Air gas is kind of expensive, but will have everything you need to go home and weld that day.

Get an auto-darkening helmet for him too. Mine is a $40 job from Northern Tool and works pretty well. It's no $200 helmet, but it works

I have this as well and it's a pretty damned good helmet. I recommend as well.

If you want 110/220 capability get a Lincoln power
Mig 180C for a few hundred bucks less and it comes with a really nice auto darkening hood. 211 is overkill for tinkering around the house.
