Hi man,

I think you should go back to school buddy. Weld first and then think about it because it's a real skill, it's a lovely idea but there is a **** load to do, to learn. Forget the cost at the moment. A good friend of mine builds frames, may he could help you but he lives in Perth, Western Australia. You need your gas bottles, a jig, materials, space i.e. workshop and a steady hand! etc. etc. Don't give up the fight! Steel is real!
