Cost a bit more than the GT Omega set-up but no mods required (except for casters to replace the feet) and I am more than happy with it.
I am a fair welder, but my wife recently learned how to weld (she wanted to make metal sculptures) and now I canât get my MIG away from her - she is currently making a Xmas tree out of horseshoes.
