I see a lot of guys on here are pretty talented at diy stuff, building deer stands and what not, im building a stand right now with a borrowed machine and am looking into buying one. Any recommendations as to what to buy or what not to buy or what you guys have that you really like?

The small lincolns in the $600-800 range are decent machines. I know a guy who has a Hobart from TSC and he likes it too. My boss likes his harbor freight but he is a cheapo and doesn't do much with it
My all time favorite was the Miller 350P I ran in Lubbock. But It's a bit much for odds and ends at home

I bought one of the little lincolns from a guy on here when he was moving and it serves me well for what I use it for. I use my miller bobcat for most things..question that should be asked is how thick of material are you looking to work with? the little one I have is just a 110 but I only use it on light gauge maybe up to 3/16'. on occasion I have used it on thicker but doesn't produce the results I like, but it will do it

I just googled this.
Miller Electric Mfg. Co now owns Hobart. The two welders are not the same however. Hobart is a less expensive budget welder. Miller welders are still high end professional equipment you have to buy from a Welding Supply.
My guess is a Hobart will still be a step up from the lincoln
