How do you know you can't? Have you tried? I bought a second-hand stick welder off gumtree (you can get a cheap but usable one on ebay for as little as £40), watched a few tutorials on youtube, and some cheap offcuts from the scrappy and taught myself... ok, its not pretty, but it does the job... and practice as they say....

I've also experimented with welding aluminium using a blowtorch and aluminium rods from here: Aluminium Brazing Rods
