Christ, I still have a welder that I made myself. It uses a round ferromagnetic core I found in a scrapyard.
I forgot how many windings it has, I think around 300 on the input side and 40 on the output.
Wiring it was a major pain in the ass, as the core is round, a closed circle.
And it draws too much current when idle, which means I have not used enough wire on the input side or the core is too small, fuck knows, I was 14 when I made it.
It does weld well, especially on DC through 4 huge diodes I also found in some scrap.

Sorry for my English, I'm drunk and tired.
