I know I will need a welding machine, gloves, and a mask, but I am not making very much money right now so I want to weld on a budget.

I am wondering what is the best form of welding for a beginner? I will be making go cart frames, playing around with bicycle frames, maybe go as far as welding automotive parts such as strut towers, exhaust systems, and turbo manifolds. I am not sure what kind of welder will do all of these aplications. Also if you know of a good website were i can learn about the differences between the welding machines and tips on welding techniques I would be very much appreciative.

I look forward to hearing from you all!
