If you're talking about pinning and welding, it's not bad. It's better than the multi-point welding of "at least 3/4 of the radius" or whatever. I drilled a hole sized for a short cut-off section of shirt hanger. Countersunk the "pin" a bit so I could drill slightly oversized the hole the pin went into, then had the area welded a bit. I don't weld, so I had it done by those who I depend on for skills I don't have. I do a lot of stuff, with a lot of skills, but a man's got to know his limitations. The cheap oxy/acetylene kit at the local lowes won't do the trick, trust me, don't even try it.
You know someone that welds, that's your guy. BTW, soldering, etc, is not legal for this. It has to be welded.
