    What size shielding gas tank to get for welding

    There is another welding supply store in the area. I'll have to see if I can get down there on lunch break one day. That's not bad at all. Especially since you got to but it and not lease it. Sounds like if I get one that size it should last me at least 2 years. When you pick up the tank...
