Before I bought my welders I used to walk in the the food grade tanker shops and ask if they would weld something up for me. They always gave me a good price when they found out what I was working on. Then I would give them the speel that when it was done I would bring it by for them to see. They always seem to like that. They are Guys right. One guy tigged me up a set of ladder bars for a 73 Ford Mavrick for FREE.
HE! HE! HE! Try one of those food grade tanker shops I know you have them up there and they probably would charge you next to nothing for something small like that.
