While welding ability is helpful it isnt required.
If you can screw prethreaded pipe parts together you can build an appleseed processor.

You need to just do some picture reading, here is my description. 55 gallon barrel with 1 inch female fitting brazed (not welded unless you have a wire feed) the you put in a 12 dollar electric heating element. Get a home depo or lowes paint mixer (9.99) and find a way to run it without any sparks. Old enclosed drill, air gun, brushless motor or use pump mixer. You cannot use a pump to mix your methaloxide though, its has to be done mechanically instead of a pump.

Put a lid on the barrel to reduce your fumage smelling.
