Pick up some MIG welding gear and an angle grinder and watch a few YouTube videos. You’ll be making crazy things in no time.



My angle grinder scares me, after seeing some images of the discs flying apart.


Now home mod one by attaching chainsaw chains ...

Discs flying apart is most of the time from wrong usage, bending the disc while cutting or bending a disc by using a cutting disk for grinding and applying to much force. I did work as a mechanic for some years and have used angle grinder for hobbies 20+ years since, and have never seen a disc fly apart. (Still remember to always use safety goggles and hearing protection while using a grinder)
