question How hard is it to use a welder? Need advice so I don't blow up like a cinco de mayo festival New

So I got some metal post in the concrete in the back patio. I removed a old wrought iron fence and hired a dude to put in some removable fencing to surrond my pool. The problem is that, the company could only cut the old fencing to about a quarter inch above the surface of the concrete. I was thinking of removing the final quarter inch by renting a welder thinga bob and melting the remaining metal and filling the hole with concrete. Am I on the right track or I about to win a Darwin award?
