Thank you all for your input, I plan on following Thomas's advice. The Ag teacher has agreed to show me how to weld both stick and mig, next month after he clears all the wood out of the shop.
My point wasn't to question Thomas's advice but just to get more info on the whole process. Like most of us here, once I get a little info I have to keep scratching at it, trying to find out more!
I kick myself now, I took basic metal shop in HS and hammered out a cold chisel but stopped there and didn't take the advanced metal to learn welding. DOH!!!
