Any welders in Columbus OH?

I would like to get a 1" locknut for a heater element welded on by 40 qt pot. Is there anyone on here in the Columbus OH area that has the expertise to do this? I've called the welder shops and they want $40 to do it. I am not against soldering but don't have anything a propane torch or practice with this. Would happily bring beer

If your willing to make the trip to Wilmington I could probably help you out with soldering. I live in Dayton, but my brewery is located at parents home. I have plenty of flux/stay-brite, I also have built a keg tool for 1/2" couplings, would be interested in making a larger one for 1" couplings. I soldered my lock-nuts directly, but the coupling and solder dimple makes things sooo much easier.
