Craftable Welding Rods

Description
Tired of having to scrounge for welding rods only to find them in low quantities if at all? Fear not, for this unrealistic mod has come to the rescue.

You now have the ability to craft welding rods using metal pipes or metal bars and a trusty old propane torch.

Five propane units from the torch and either a metal bar or metal pipe will yield a fully stocked set of welding rods.
(NOTE: This is where the lack of realism kicks in, this is purely based on weight as a metal pipe/bar weighs 1.5 and a fully stacked set of welding rods weighs about 1.5 with 0.2 at empty leaving it at of 1.3 of weight for a loss of 0.2)

Recommendations: Mods that enhance propane efficiency and mods that allow you to recycle metal materials as to obtain metal bars and metal pipes.

On realism: What about an entire factory having five welding rods in total? Grandpa has more in his shed! So being able to craft them is not even that much of a stretch

Awesome mod! Thank you so much for this!

Seems pretty realistic to me, actually. You can use a metal wire hanger as a welding rod if it's needed!

Will this mod work on existing save file?

I love this mod for 2 reasons. First i use the building menu mod so welding rods are already required a lot and second i always have tons of pipes and bars and have no use for them besides scrapping

In all fairness, to make this "realistic" for Autogenous welding, all you need to make welding rods is a small metal sheet and given the tools avaliable ingame, a overlay metal sheet. a pencil, a saw and a good amount of time :)

I'm not familiar with the process at all, but I might make a realistic alternative of the mod once I look deeper into this and if realism enthusiasts show interest.

Maybe if you add paper as requrement and heat source too ? (Basically wrapping the pipe/bar in paper and heating it to dry out the electrodes)
