Tig welder for a beginner

Thanks for the reply's everyone. Never was being known as the smartest guy however the gumption meter is pretty well pegged lol. The idea of a Spool gun makes me feel cornered and I am always open to learning new things. I have until January to sort it out. And Garry in AZ, those are amazing welds for a Spool gun. I wouldn't challenge you in your trade for a sec...

Thanks,
JW
