I've had no experience with MIG and limited experience with ordinary arc welding. But I'd like to set myself up for sculptures from recycled steel.

I know that I need to define what materials I'll be using but that depends partly on the affordability of the tools! For example if I were to be using railway pegs they are around 20mm thick and presumably I would need some pretty expensive gear.

Here's a few examples to get the discussion started. Some are simple, others extremely detailed and far beyond what I am hoping to achieve.
