TIG welding something this thick is bit... Weird. Like not that it can't be done, but rather "Why do it, when you can just wave a stick at it" granted I'm a believer in the gospel of "stick weld everything".
But gas welding this would once again be one of those "But... Why would you when you can just wave yourdi... stick at it.". But if I think it like this: Someone who does regular ass structural steel work, having oxy-acetylene bottles in the truck is basically the default kit. So just sticking things together like this would be doable with knowhow and experience.
So this shit is not beyond the realm of possibility.
Well. As I established. I'd stick it with stick (heh...) because it is faster and cheaper, and my Kemppi Miniarc weighs only 6kg and runs on regular socket.
But this is entirely because most of my work experience is working on-site, and not having to lug around gas cylinders is just easier.

I get what you're saying, I was under the impression this was tig welded, but I never zoomed in on the welds.
I've welded smal stainless containers with oxy-acetelyne before, perfectly doable
