    JWD,

    Thanks for the question.
    With the mateials you mentioned, TIG would be the better choice. It does get easier with practice and the steadyness of your hands will make a difference as TIG is much more precise of arc than MIG. Tubing will also be difficult to master because of the continuous arc you need to move the torch through. A Syncrowave 180SD will be a nice unit to start with or a Dynasty 200SD. The Dynasty is a bit more expensive but is not as picky on hand movements.
    As far as shop equipment, Check out www.harborfreight.com they have quite a bit of metal working equipment very reasonable. I have a mill and lathe from there that do everything I need to do with building race cars.

    Good luck!
