I wrote a really long reply about why it's a good thing to take a welding class, but the page refreshed and all that work went down the drain.
To summarize:
Take a welding class. It's worth WAY more than you could ever imagine. I'm going to a MIG class right now 4 days a week 4 hours a day. It
is some of the best money I've ever spent. I can't stress it enough, call your local junior college and find out if they offer welding
classes.
Things might be different over there but my teacher is a car guy so we're allowed to build stuff in the shop as long as we keep out of the way
and don't leave a mess at night.
Also I have access to much nicer equipment than I could ever afford. I think the class came out to $175 with the $25 materials fee. With that I can
use any equipment in the shop including the tubing bender and TIG machines. It's actually a full service fabrication shop. Next door is the auto
shop and machine shop, where they not only have expensive CNC machines, but they teach you how to use them as well.
I've gotten a bit off my point, but learning how to weld properly is going to help you very much so down the road.
