I've tried welding twice in my life.
The first time was in shop class in high school. Something was grounded wrong and when I TOUCHED the steel bench...it shocked the bejeezus out of me! Ended up knocking me on my rear...bruising me and my ego.
The second time was welding a ramp brace on a trailer. The ramp on the other side fell while my leg was under it resulting in a tib/fib fracture.
For many years I have said that I'm not meant to be a welder...but I think it's time to stop being silly and (safely) learn how to weld!
Aside from that, your build has been pretty inspirational to me. I plan to attack mine in a somewhat similar manner.
