I have to agree with getting a Mig. I've had a Craftsman stick welder for 35 years, and used occasionally. Worked OK, but I never got good enough with it for the welds to be "pretty" though they were serviceable. Bought a Hobart Handler 140 MIG earlier this year. That thing is so easy!
As with all hobbies, there's always an excuse for a new tool.
