Too Rough To Save?

You should get rid of it. I'll be there next week to take it off your hands. HaHa

If you can't weld, take a class and learn. I bought a book and learned some basic stuff. The best advice is to get scrap metal and practice, practice, practice.
It is not difficult. You will have the satisfaction of doing it yourself. You can buy a good welder for less than $500 and have a skill that will be an asset for the rest of your life.
