Review on Forney 309 140 Amp Welder - 120V Welding Machine by Jimmy Hargrove

Ever since I was at school, I've wanted to learn welding from a good welder, where, after a lot of trial and error, I managed to make a reasonably decent bead. My friend has a more expensive and powerful 240 volt MIG welder that works with half inch steel. This one only makes steel up to a quarter inch thick. But for half the price I think it's enough for now and if I get serious about it I can always upgrade later. My friend said it's a good brand and sold in a lot of popular places so it should last longer than me if I take good care of it. Although it's a little smaller than I expected, which is good, it's still quite heavy. If only I had a plasma cutter. If you want a basic MIG welder and don't plan on doing anything with more than a quarter inch thick steel then this is the perfect option and I recommend it.
