I have some 500 Brinell 12" circle steel plates and I'd like to make a target frame for them. I'm thinking of rebar legs to push into the ground with a horizontal piece to press your foot on. Then rebar on the top. I'll either have pipe on the top rebar and weld a tab on the pipe to bolt to the belts holding the plate or just have the belts go over the rebar and back down to the plate.
What is needed to weld the rebar together? I have zero welding skills and I've looked on my local craigs list and see a few Lincoln 225 for around 200 dollars. I'd have to use the dryer plug to power them but that should be fine. Or I could go cheaper and hit the local Harbor Freight and pickup their Wire Welder, 90 Amp Flux for 109 dollars and then use a 20% coupon. Its 110 volts so it would be easier to power but can it weld rebar for what I need?
Thanks.
