[TheForge] Recommendations on gas welding set

[Marc Godbout]

Thanks, Jerry. I looked into All-States some time ago, and I think they
were around $600 back then. As nice as it is, it would probably take me
a lifetime, at my usage, to get any payback. Maybe some day, but for now
it's a little out of my price range.

>From some of the other replies it does seem like a regular welding set
may work for me. I'm going to try to hook up with Ralph to try before I
buy. I like any reason to visit his shop anyway. He's got some great
toys!

Thanks to all who've replied so far.
