I want to weld a bicycle together (make a wobble/swing bike) but what kind of welder should i use... Arc or Mig?

Whats the difference between arc and mig welding. I want to weld aluminum and steel. Would i need a another welder if i wanted to weld stainless steel. Also, i have no welding experience so do you know of a online site to learn?

Most current bicycle frame production is done by T.I.G. welding. I have included and article from Miller, one of the biggest names in welding. Good luck!

So i understand that tig welding is the hardest. So i think what i have read ill pry end up w/ a mig welder. Is it easy to hurt/shock myself? And having no welding experience, should i be able to get better with no training?

You should be OK. Follow the instructions that come with the welder and practice on some scrap bicycle tubing.Good luck!
