I've actually built a pretty effective one, with a fuel injection pump, a one gallon plastic gas can, a Propane torch, and a motorcycle battery! It was great for taking out wasp nests from a safe distance!

John, the least expensive welder I've got cost about $500.00. It's a 110/220 volt MIG machine that can weld up to about 1/4" steel plate pretty effectively. Those laser gimmicks are P.T.
