$1000 budget, which mig welder???
I got the 180 Lincoln from Canadian Tire it was on sale for Fathers Day last year for $480(plus tax) and it came with gloves, 2 rolls of wire and a "mask" that you hold with your hand while welding. It also had the hose for the bottle and regulator.
I went to Princess Auto and picked up a cart for $100 and welders supply for a bottle of auto weld gas, I think it was around $150 for the bottle and its first fill.
I also needed a breaker and receptacle to run it in my garage so I would add another few bucks for that stuff.
