    Get a mask, gloves, a stick welder, and some scrap steel for practice. You can learn it off of Youtube easily enough.

    Just whatever you do, DON’T WELD GALGANIZED STEEL! The zinc evaporates into fumes and can get you very sick and possibly kill you. If you absolutely have to weld galvanized steel, do it outside with a fan blowing all the fumes down wind.

      Oh no, I can weld, everything but TIG… I’m just a farm welder, learned functional welding to fix stuff but never learned “propper” techniques.

      See, this is the kind of thing that a class might teach, though.
