I had a job for 12 years where I "played" with and old bridgeport mill,an old lathe(kompf I think),MIG,TIG, stick welding and trouble shooting.Lots of fab work as well. Now I swing a hammer building multi-million dollar custom homes. I've been lucky to have jobs I really like. I love the fact that I learn something every day. You should get that mill you would love it. I have learned a lot about differnt metals and welding over the years but I don't feel qualified to give my opinion on frame building.
