I've been interested in getting a blade welder, too. Any thoughts on how to select a good one?
Actually, gas welding if done quickly and properly is all you need to do. Takes some practice but you probably already have the tools in the shop to do it. It doesn't have to be resistance welded. Done properly it won't damage the blade at all.
If memory serves, Tom Griffin has a video on his website demonstrating it. I may be wrong though, but I know I have seen one somewhere. I have done quite a few at work and once I get my new Baleigh at my home shop I will be doing my own there as well.
