Dear Brian,
i bought a cheap "buzz-box" and would say its nearly wasted money.
Try to find a used mid-priced machine.
I had the chance to use the one of a friend, its a big difference and a
real advantage.
Learning isnt the problem. I took different pieces from the srab and
later the cutted ends of the original frame tubings and joined them to
get a feeling about welding. A pro welder would do a better job, the
seams are not really good, but useable.
... or do the cuttings and let a professional do this job.
Best regards and "good luck" ;-)

Dear Pythonauts,
After 70+ years of cycling I bought a rear-drive under-steer Actionbent
recumbent <www.actionbent.com> and now have more than 32,000 km
virtually trouble free. It is a delight to ride - so why should I pine
for a python? But I do. Even now in my 81st year.
I have a garage load of scrap bikes and parts but no welding experience
and a budget that will not stretch to TIG nor MIG.
I can buy a "buzz-box" new for $79 or an AC/DC welder for $104.
Is DC a real advantage?
I have some confidence that by sufficient trial and error on scrap
tubing I can teach myself to weld - classes at a distant technical
college are not practical for me.
If any have the time to advise on how "to get my feet wet" I will be
most grateful
Regards to all
Brian in SC USA
