Does any one in the southeast relatively close to Chattanooga have either a lathe or a welder(for steel), and wouldn't mind either helping me out or letting me use the equipment. I've got a bunch of small items I am going to possibly need welded, and some some Bronze hollow rods I need cut(takes to long with a hacksaw). I can operate a lathe no problem, but have very, very little experience welding(ie. I've only welded 2 inches of bead in my life)
