There is no BEST process for all conditions/situations/materials/applications. Easiest to use would probably be GMAW (MIG welding). Most useful for all applications and metals including cutting OAW (Oxy-Acetylene welding) usually referred a to as Oxy-Fuel. Most widely used process is probably SMAW (stick welding) which would also be most portable and cheapest to purchase. GTAW (TIG/Heliarc) is used mostly indoors on thinner and or non ferrous metals ( Aluminum, Stainless Steel, and most alloys. If I were to set up a shop at home I would consider a DC stick welding machine (preferably a rectifier type) and an Oxy-Acetylene setup.

A journeyman is someone who is knowledgeable about the welding process. Therefore to apprentice with someone who doesn't know much about welding seems futile. Learn from the best if you can.

Why use stitch welding?

Stitch welding, also known as a Staggard welding, is the process of welding to base materials in many short sections. This process gives a weld less strength, but usually keeps the material from warping too much since you use half as much heat. When strength is critical, full penetration welds may be necessary and it is best to have the material well clamped to a solid surface.
