Nice work. If you have a GMAW (MIG) welder with .023 solid wire and gas conduit isn't too hard to weld. Mine goes down to 24 gauge metal.

I am still in the stone ages with my buzz box welder and would burn up 24 gauge. I do get by with the heavier welding. If I was younger and thought I would use it, and learn to use it, I think I would invest in one.
I hear you. I also have Mig, stick and gas if necessary. I think my concern would not be the welding but the integraty of the joint. Electrical conduit is relatively thin and might rip over time due to vibrations etc. I don't think that there are as many vibratons when you use the snow blower, but with a plow its the banging and sudden stops that might affect the joints or conduit. I know the weld itself will hold its the metal that I am concerned about. I am thinking of using a 1-inch square tubing with a wall thickness of 1/8 inch or better.
