Hello Louis, Having both Mig and Gas welding is a great start. I use gas welding for most of the work I do, it is easier to learn than mig if you use the right technique. Mig has its uses as well but in my opinion mastering gas is a very important part of making panels. Most panels will have butt joints in them and this is best done with gas (my preference) or tig. Mig can leave a hard weld that is difficult at best to dress out. I have taught many people to gas weld and most pick up the traditional technique very quickly.
