Never do the 'just weld it together' if it is at all possible to incorporate adjustment features into a structure with close fits. Welding
always introduces distortion, stress or both. You might have something fitting and running nicely before it is welded but after welding it is almost certain to be too loose or too tight and you now have no way to fix it. Well maybe not no way, you can always attack with a SawZall of a grinder with a cutoff wheel and go back to square one.
