THANKS LARRY! Well see, I was Lucky. I didnt rush out and buy the first machine I saw. I saw all these $199 units at Home Depot and Loews.

I decided to read all my welding books that I ordered first.

Welding is big stuff in the USA. People even have Forums for underwater welders and welders run by Huge Diesel Engines. I've used powerful tools in my Life--but seriously a Diesel powered welder---isn't that something that would be say around 1000 Amps?
And maybe enough to weld on a skyscraper?
I mean just in case, thats all I ended up with,a 1000 amp Diesel powered welder, would a welder that powerful be able to discharge lightning bolts or even start a tornado if I did not adjust it right?
