If you’re a workshop kind of person, then a simple MIG welder and the ability to use it can open a whole range of creative possibilities. I use my welder all the time, including for my latest project, a toolbox setup for my tractor. You can see it below. It took about 3 hours to build earlier this week. It’s a perfect example of how the ability to join metal opens a lot of custom solutions for your life (and at very reasonable cost). Read on to see what I mean, and join the next group of would-be welders in my online course.

If you’ve ever dreamed of building or fixing things with metal in your home workshop, then MIG welding (short for Metal Inert Gas welding) is your best friend. It’s the go-to welding method for beginners and hobbyists, and for good reason—it’s clean, fast, and surprisingly easy to learn.
Why MIG Welding

Unlike other types of welding that can be intimidating or require years of experience to master, MIG welding is user-friendly. With just a few hours of practice, you can be laying down strong, clean welds on everything from lawn mower decks to trailers to custom metal furniture. MIG welding uses a spool of wire that feeds automatically through a welding gun, where it melts and fuses metal pieces together under a protective shield of inert gas. The result? A smooth weld with minimal cleanup and great holding power.
What Makes MIG So Accessible?
- Low cost: You can get a a decent basic MIG welder for $300
- Push-button simplicity: Most machines today are plug-and-play. You can be up and welding within minutes of unboxing a MIG welder.
- Versatility: Weld steel, stainless steel, and even aluminum with the right setup.
- Precision control: Adjustable heat and wire speed let you tailor the weld to your project and skill level.
- No flux fuss: Shielding gas means fewer splatters and a cleaner finish compared to flux-core or stick welding.
A Confidence-Boosting Skill

There’s something deeply satisfying about fusing metal with your own hands and seeing the sparks fly as something strong and useful takes shape. Whether you’re building a utility trailer, repairing a gate, or fabricating parts for a custom project, MIG welding opens up a whole new world of creative possibility. One of the favourite projects in my welding course is the woodstove you can see above. It’s made of an old 20 lbs propane tank.
