I would agree with you but the equipment they have is a TIG welder. TIG is going to put a lot of heat into it and it is going to want to distort easily. I talk to the shop foreman this morning and was asking him about what they think is a fair price to have these welded and his response was,"the owner of the company wants me to sit down and try to learn to make these welds on my own. Do you have any tips on how to weld these?" My response was "yes sir I do, the very first step you need to take is to hire someone who can weld." He said he would call back in a couple of days after he tried his hand at it so we will see how it works out for him.
