I was looking at that, too until I saw that the "welding machine" costs $417. Do you suppose that the hollow tubing (which uses 21-cent connectors) would work as well? IAN an industrial engineer...
Yeah, that'd scared me away initially as well, but as it turns out, the 'welding kit' includes many things beyond what is required to heat up and join the tubing. A simple heat gun should be sufficient and the tubing can be joined in a piece of angle to maintain alignment.
