Threads like these are great for future DIYers, and your pics are awesome. Maybe you could expand on some things as a research aid, for example:

Are you going to use mild steel wire? Stainless? Do you need to do anything special to remove the zinc coating prior to welding? Is there a concern about fumes? What rust prevention if any will you do between the sheet metal layers, and prior to primer and paint?
