There's very little skill involved to do what I describe. There is more skill involved in fitting the replacement piece than the required welding skill. Since it's a tack, just look at the table inside the welders wire compartment cover. Pick the sheet metal thickness used and set up the welder that way. Then burn just enough of a tack to penetrate to the back side.
You can use magnets or long necked channel lock clamps, C clamps or whatever to get the metal in place for the first few tacks.
I will look for the tool.
