Happy New Year Everyone!!!

Hi richkat here,
Happy New Year everyone,I hope this year will be better than last year,we can all use better.
I was searching for a way to make a few tools that I need or want.
That's how I found this site.
The first tool is a welding machine.
What I'm looking for is a really simple way to make a "TIG" welding machine that can weld Aluminum it has to be AC current output with High Frequency, 110volts and of course inexpensive(okay cheap).
I've seen several different sites,most of them are done for people that have some knowledge in electrical circuits or there lacking in completeness, or using an old DC stick welder and converting it into a "TIG" welding machine DC out put only. Totally confusing to me.
Basically I'm looking for a paint by numbers set and the game operation(#1 looks like this and it goes here,#2 looks like this and it goes here and so on).
It's kind of strange I've welded most of my adult life,(since 1979).Electrical components and things of that nature are foreign to me. That's why I asked for a paint by numbers set and the game operation.
So if anyone can help I would appreciate it vary much.
Thank You.
