you'll also wanna install a fume hood or some kinda vent (i brought this up
a while back at a meeting but it was stated we have a hard enough time
keeping the space insulated and warm without making another hole for air to
escape from).

but yeah i'd totally be down for an arc welder in the space if we had the
right set up and there were at least something set up so that only people
with experience can use it or at least have someone with experience to be
there to help anyone wanting to learn.
