Need help with minor welding - Vancouver WA/Portland OR area

I think you are angry.

Me? I'm not angry. I'm just don't think you have the foggiest idea of what you're talking about, regardless of your welding ability.

You guys keep saying you can weld a K-frame yourself for less than $450, including buying your own machine, with a gas rig no less, and learning how to weld. I'm just waiting to see the equipment you're supposed to use to make that price-point. Even welding classes aren't free, and you just can't walk into the shop outside of class and put in 4 or 5 hours of welding on your own stuff. At all, let alone without paying extra for all the supplies.

Seriously, I want to see how you're supposed to do that. Otherwise you're just not being realistic.
