What should I get besides: various filler metals of various sizes for stainless steel, aluminum, and mild steel, 100Argon, 2% lanthanated tungsten of various sizes, and tig welding gloves (plus tig finger)?

$50
a proper regulator. i found a used stick-type harris on ebay for $50 shipped
the stock torch is pretty cheesy but it'll get you going
I recently switched to a CK 130 and used their 2-series gas lens kit, makes welding ally so much easier. PM me when you need a vendor for a torch. It was a small nightmare getting the correct connector. ~$200
lots of time and patience. I have about 35 hours with mine (i could push mig trigger like a champ though, lol) and I'm just now starting to get results i'd show anyone.
