I've watched your video a couple times and I think I may try to build one

[@stupid-clever]

Thanks for watching. Good luck! I hope you have better luck than I did with the welding process. Even if you go with Jb weld it holds up well

You could always try to use car body filler or Bondo and fill the gaps then sand and smooth. Just a thought 8f you wanted a painted finish later on.

[@stupid-clever]

That would definitely work. I think I like the rusty metal look for now. Thanks for watching

Great project! Thanks for sharing. I don’t understand why soldering didn’t work for you. Any ideas?

[@stupid-clever]

I think I just lost patience and gave up. I was also just using whatever I could source from Home Depot and I have absolutely no practical metalworking experience. Any high school kid in shop class could probably do it! Thanks for watching

[@jeffreymccomas3281]

Did you try M.I.G. welding

[@stupid-clever]

I don’t have the tools or the knowledge for welding. It might be worth a try. Thanks for watching

Welding would be best pick up a cheap stick welder and practise, it is easier than you would think.
