I was just wondering if anyone has built their own bandsaw blade welder?
These seem to be awfully expensive to buy, but don't really have much to
them.

I've got several magazines with plans in them. There does seem to be
a current shortage of the 200 amp, 5 volt, war-surplus, magnetron
filament transformers that they call for, though. Price out one of
those before you decide if the commercial product is too expensive.
Silver brazing is always an option and much cheaper, you can make a
jig out of a chunk of angle iron and a couple of bulldog clips.

Loads of ex computer (min / mainframe) switcher power supplies will give you
5v DC at 200 amps and are relatively cheap
