Bill,I'd bet you could do it yourself, based on your previous experience. I'msure going to give it a try, with lots of practice, first. The last time Ihad my hands on a welder was to build a tow bar when we moved, via Rydertruck, to the East Coast after I finished college. I couldn't afford to renta towbar, but I did have access to free angle steel!So it will take me a lot of practice, but it will be fun to get those skillsagain. It's all buried back there in the memory banks somewhere.If I had to take Calculus again, I could probably pick that up too, butsomehow, the idea doesn't sound as appealing or useful as welding.Since the home wire-feed units don't seem to have gas bottles, I'd betyou're right that they use a coated wire.Anyway, thanks for the exchange and let us all know what you decide to do.We all stand to learn something from it!MikePS: I make my living as a freelance technical writer now.________________________________________________________________________________
