Well my Dad owns a hardware store so I figured I will pick up an Oxy-Acetylene welder and a dremel. Im planning on welding mainly aluminium,copper,steel and brass. Does anyone have a good welder they've used or know that works well? And same with the dremel could anyone recomend brands or models? I figured Oxy-Acetylene is the best way to go for this hobby and will help alot as I've always wanted to learn how to weld, its not really a big thing where I live and no one has a welder so im new to all this, though my grandad should be able to help me. Also any tips are apreciated.(I know how to use a dremel so I don't need tips for that)

Cheers, MrCrowley

I believe most oxy-acetylene rigs would be pretty much the same, but once you start getting into electric and resistance welders you have more diversity.
