Not going to be much welding done for a bit at first I would think, But the Oxy sets will get a good run chopping that lot up .  ;D ;D
Probably be cheaper just to build a new line around it.

I'm surprised no one has asked what it is that he will be welding.....

I've been using my old stick welder for 90% of the odd jobs around the house without too many issues.  I only got a MIG recently and that was because I was doing more work on thinner stuff. 

Only had to use gas when welding up car panels, otherwise I only need to use gasless wire.  If most of the stuff you are welding is 3mm or thicker mild steel then just get a stick welder.
Do not PM me for technical advice - start a thread.
