I am interested in making some frames for a project around the house, ideally out of metal with about the same shape and consistency of a wire coat hanger. I need to shape it and fuse it with a torsional spring. The problem is I have zero experience with welding. I have looked at Amazon etc. for introductory books but none really seem to fit the bill. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could help me with two questions: 1. Is this type of project something that would be easiest to achieve via welding or would you suggest a different method; and 2. Do you have any introductory welding books to suggest.
Thanks- DF
