Thanks also to those who suggest the bashed flat method. Bashing steel is very therapeutic, and I think I myself recommended this very method on this forum for monkey bars! Will try it the hard way as practice is a good thing to have.

Well I had a crack and it was easier than I thought. I've attached a photo of the first attempt for your amusement. Main problem was trying to constantly contort around at the appropriate angle. Dodgy weld I know, but it's good enough and with some judicious grinding and a generous coat of paint it should be pretty right.
Surprisingly I had no trouble underneath. I used 2.5mm Liquidarc "Easyflo Supa" rods which are for "the less experienced welder". I reckon they are mirical rods. The angle is around 30 degrees. Didn't even look like blowing through using Grahams method and the little Ozito welder handled it amirably.
