If you were stuck on a desert island (with 220v and piles of steel and aluminium along with filler rod and a huge underground argon resevoir) what is the one machine you would want to have with you?

I thought "desert island" meant no fresh water. I'd want off that island. Fast.

I want a goat and a beautiful blonde ( to hold the goat of course), sorry, old joke.
I'd want my old motor/generator welder that's still in service from the early 40's that welded everything like it enjoyed it, it didn't sound like a hive of angry bees, and only had less than a handful of knobs, welded 6010 (as well as I could weld with them anyway) as well as 7018.
That's all dependant on the island having an unlimited power supply.
Oh, and a candy machine.

I'd take an Ac/DC Tombstone & some 6010's.

What are we doing on a desert island with this stuff.... Are we building a boat to get off or something?? Some holes in your hypothetical situation...
I would have to agree with any of Braehill's answers[SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH]
