That would be easier with one of those 18v handheld cordless welders, instead of getting in there with that inconvienient cord. I heard in the other thread that pros use cordless tools exclusively since the have more power.

Welding is more fun than wrench work. In the field id rather be in hard spot welding than hard spot fighting a wrench.

The helical flights inside the drum of a concrete mixer truck are all welded by hand. Some poor fucker has to climb in there and weld that shit. All day. Every day.

Not for my narrow ass, that's for sure.

Those are pretty big aren't they? I guess they vary but you've probably got a decent amount of room at least towards the middle.
