hello. new to forum and need some help

[nathasri]

hello everyone. i am new to this forum. i have little experience on arc welding, (not a professional welder, but love to weld and hoping to buy a welder) recently i wanted to join four ball bearings by welding. so i asked one of my friend who does welding as living " can we join ball bearings by welding? and he said " no, you cant" so i googled the question and found that this one guy has joined ball bearings together. i asked him by private massaging through facebook how he did it and still no answer from him. can someone please explain me if this is possible with arc welding. since i am not very knowledgeable about welding forgive me if this question have mistakes.
thanks

it would be a pain to arc weld them all together IMO

mig or tig may be easier and quicker

Yes you can arc weld them no problem, but MIG would be faster/easier, TIG would be easier, but both methods more costly than arc welding.

Of course you can. I think your mate meant not structuraly sound as they are hard
For sculpture yes
You could do it with a 2.5 mm 6013 dialed up full chortle. Not as easy as mig but go with what you have right.
tig dialed right up without filler and a quick blast might be the best way? But it's not worth rushing out and buying one for a one off idea now is it

It's always worth buying new toys

If you have continued use to justify and can easy afford it
