It seems to me that the OP needs to modify his friendship acquisition protocol. Hot chicks are fine and everything, but what's needed here is a sweaty man with welding skills. I realize that's going to be a significant transition, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
LOL, or maybe he should just bite the bullet and buy a welder and become that sweaty man with welding skills.
After all, a guy can never have too many tools.
