I am wringing my hands over the best way to get started with welding/metal work at home. My main use will be making implements for my Ford 841 - quick attachment set up for loader, snow plow, forks etc. At this point, because I have electrical supply concerns related to arc welding(as per an earlier post) and because I figure I'll need a torch for cutting thicker stock anyhow, I am leaning toward a Smith cutting/welding torch package (BIG98-510, anyone have any experience?) I have some experience welding with stick and MIG (several hours)but only about 1 hour welding with gas - on thin (1/16 inch) stock.

It seems like a lot of the folks here have had a lot experience welding with gas (as per the recent "1st Welder" thread by Nzer and other threads) so, I'm asking you all to put my mind at ease ... I am I going to be able to do what I want to do with gas welding, or is it going to be too hard and slow so I should go right to the stick?
