I once needed a 14" C clamp(I do not remember what for). I took a cheap 4" C-Clamp, cut it in half and welded a 12" piece of flat stock to the ends. It worked great.(have not used it since).

Just another reason I want to learn to weld.. can come in handy for more than just repairs and mods..

DOING SOMETHING JUST BECAUSE YOUR BUDDY DOES IT THAT WAY MAKES AS MUCH SENSE AS SHARING TOOTHBRUSHES
I have been welding for about 30 years now.(with about 20 minutes of instruction). Mostly trial and error and I weld to suit myself. I started with a Buzz box. I worked my way up to a sears AC/DC unit because I weld mostly Stainless now. I enjoy the fact that I can go out to the garage and fabricate something, fix something by welding it or remaking something out of ss so that it does not rust.
Weld for a man and he will pester you often, teach a man to weld and never be pestered again.
I have been welding for40 years now, owned a shop welding anything that came in the door, I sold all the machines exept one lathe, one mill, and two welders.
You can do so much with a good welder, and marginal skills. If you buy one, spend a little and get something like a miller sd180, you can stick weld and tig, there will be little you can't do and will cost about 1600.00 a little high I know, but you will love it more than anything you have ever bought yourself.
