What welder to use on autobody?
It depends on what you are welding. If you are doing welding on mild steel go with MIG welding; if it is aluminum or stainless steel then use TIG welding.
TIG welding gives a nice looking finish. If you just want to get a decent look, then MIG is preferable and easy.
What degree is needed to be a mig welder?
There is no degree needed to become a mig welder. It would be a good idea to at least take some welding instruction in high school if it is available or training at a vocational school if you can afford it. This will give you a better chance at landing a job than a person of comparable age and experience. More importantly to being good at welding is the ability to keep your mouth shut and your eyes and ears open. That way you will learn from the journeymen who are willing to teach the tricks of the trade. Rarely will they waste their time and effort on someone who already knows it all.

What distance is safe to view arc welding?
You should never look directly at an arc, no matter what the distance. If you need or want to observe, you must have the same eye protection the weldor is using! The problem is eye injury from an arc (this is called 'flashing' your eyes) does not hurt or bother you sometimes until several hours after it has happened. You cannot tell by discomfort or pain if you are too close. By the time the pain sets in, it is too late, and believe me, the pain in your eyes is excruciating. It feels like sand is being ground into your eyeballs. Don't risk it. Use the proper eye protection.

Can a woman make good money as a welder?
Most welding jobs are considered non gender specific. I have trained both men and women and found that women usually take the training more seriously and become better than their male counterparts. Keep in mind that welding is usually hot, dirty, smokey, heavy work and some women cannot compete. Those that do can earn as much as men can. This like most trades pays according to skill level. Also keep in mind that weldors are mostly men and the atmosphere is macho, to use a polite term. The U.S. had many female weldors during WWII.

What is going rate for a welder with own rig?
I'm from Edmonton Alberta. I have operated a welding rig for 12 years and as far as I can tell there is no standard rate. I have heard of rates any where between $65 to $140/hr depending on location (how far north) and the amount of skill required. Demand at the time usually determines the rates, 2005/2006 were great years for rig welders here, 2007 not so good. In Edmonton now, rates seem to be around 85 for "B" welders and 70 for journeyman.

I agree, here in Michigan I've seen many rates, the highest was for tig welding Stainless steel/aluminum That was $15 per inch, but tig is always a little more expensive.

Can a TIG welder give you an electric shock large enough to lift you off a wooden stool?
Hell yea! It depends on what you set the amps to and how well the person is grounded but a good shock from a TIG welder will definitely stand you up. Be careful though, crank the amps up to high and your dead. I've heard stories of guys getting zapped by relatively low voltage with a higher amperage, leaving work just as normal and then having a heart attack a few hours later. Electricity is not something to play with.
