step 1
Get Welder from craigs list (or other source)
step 2
Get some scrap metal
step 3
Weld!

That is all there is to it! practice, practice, practice. there is a lot of experience on this board that can help you out with any welding questions. the best way to learn though is to just do it.

just look into some kind of 110v mig welder. Gas is not required but i HIGHLY recommend it. at least get a welder that you can add gas to later.

I am sure we can all help out with any questions you might have.

Cheers,

By the way, where are the peektures!

P.S. I found this on craigs list in your general area:
LINCOLN SP-135 PLUS 115 VOLT - $375 (POMONA)

not a bad deal as it has the gas kit with it. all you would need would be a bottle of gas.

Thats how I learned to weld practice, practice practice. I didn't go to school for it. that is how I make a living now. Mig welding is pretty easy to pick up. with sgielding gas is easier than flux core.

That diamond plate floor is FN sweet!

I thought of doing that...but like I said no welding skills and cant really afford to go to a fab shop...

I NEED to learn how to weld!!!!

As for the floor its just common sense. just get a picture of what you want and build it, cut, fit and tack everything. Once yhou get it where you want it, weld it all in.
