Metalworker I am not. I say you are a Craftsman, and one way or another, you're going to do all your metal work, including the welding. Then, you can get back to woodwork, and build your Toilet-Paper cutter...I mean Prop. I learned to weld at 'The School of Hard Knocks'. My dad was the instructor, I was a young teenager, class was in his Auto Repair Shop, and my mostimportant task in the winter, was to keep the coal furnace going !! I'm currently building a Wittman Tailwind W10, and I will tack weld with a MIG, then oxy/accy weld the clusters.
