Wood and Iron

I wanted to write something about building a mixed wood and metal fence but frankly the cost of custom welding is a bit steep.  So I bought an arc welder and will be trying my hand at building my own.  It can be argued that a Mig is a better choice for the applications I have in mind but budget dictated that I will start off with arc welding. A good book on welding is in the mail along with some safety equipment.  I also need to install a 220v circuit  which I will run to the side yard as there is too much wood and other flammables in the garage to risk fire and the wrath of my wife.

With a  little practice and patience I am sure I will be able to do it.  

Scrap metal anyone?
