When I get some down time I like welding up something I need, new shop table, hand tool organizers, pipe gates etc. Guess my hobby is more work but thats how I roll.
That’s something I’m getting set up for. I have three oxygen and three acetylene bottles. Two sets of gauges. Hoses and about three drag up bags of welder hand tools. All I need is a welding machine. I’ve never welded with wire, just stick. Need to build about 300’ of fence using tubing for post , angle iron and sheet metal. 10’ feet high.
Someone stole my old Lincoln cracker box.

Thats a pretty good project you have ahead of you.
My shop welder is a Miller Millermatic 212 auto set mig welder. Once you weld with wire you will never want to weld again with stick.
Had a portable Miller Bobcat that I really liked now I have a Lincoln Ranger.

Only problem with a wire welder for a 300' fence is the power source. The lead on a wire welder is like 10' long at the longest which means the box has to be 10' from the power. This was my setup when I welded up my fence. I have a plasma cutter which I used to cut the saddles on all the posts. The generator was bought specifically so I could use my wire welder for mobile projects if I didn't want to bring out the Miller.
