Pretty cool idea! I'd still need all the other supplemental equipment though. The shade, heavy gloves, whatever else is needed. It's something that keeps getting pushed way back because my boss used to be a professional welder, and anytime I need a mower or chair part or the like fixed up, I can get him to do it for me free. He's not big on precision though, so I would never use any kind of jig or fixture he took his angle grinder and sledge hammer to. :) He likes welding over woodwork because if you cut it too short, you can just add more weld.
