Car battery and jumper cables works just fine.
Sutton Garten has a class I keep meaning to take.
Welding Certification Procedures & Training - Indianapolis, Indiana - Sutton-Garten Co.
My sister just graduated from IVY Tech with her welding associate's, the school arranged for all of her certifications and whatnot as well. Tuition was relatively inexpensive as well, the degree has server her well already IDK if you are looking for a new job but she has not had any trouble finding good employment as a welder.
You just missed the enrollment date, but a friend and fellow INGO member took this one. It is from an unexpected source: https://apm.activecommunities.com/indianapolisartcenter/Activity_Search/3595
Future classes will be listed here: SCULPTURE - Indianapolis Art Center
Class was a mix of artsy-fartsy to rednecks.
Syllabus: https://indianapolisartcenter-my.sh...019952e8238ca4171bd620606ad84edca&action=view
If classes don't fit your schedule, you could always pick up one of the newer welders that have digital presets that will get you close and allow you to lay decent welds with little experience. Something along the lines of a Lincoln MP210 or Vulcan Omnipro 220. Both are multiprocess machines so you can MIG, TIG and Stick.

I want to learn too. With my luck though I'll just manage to shock the crap out of myself.
Seems like one of those worthwhile skills to know.
We could shock ourselves together.
Or poison ourselves. I provided some galvanized scrap to reinforce my roto tiller's cheap stamped body for igotdiesel to weld it. He used his own scrap carbon steel so he didnt suffer the consequences of welding fume fever; basically flu like symptoms due to inhaling the galvanic chemicals that are released into the air during welding. (not recommended)
I had no idea that galvanized isnt safe to weld. Training is important apparently.
