If you feel like doing some reading, here is a thread I started to document my search for a welder to get some work done on my kegs:

BTW... for most of the brew process, the welds don't have to be sanitary. You really only NEED sanitary welds for those in contact with the wort after cooling.
I have since bought a TIG welder and started practicing. I welded my first to couplings into my HLT to add a copper coil this week. Here is a couple pictures of a practice coupling I did:
