A couple of things.

What type of welding machine is he going to use?  

What is the max input amps of that machine? ( if you get a brand and exact 
model  we can likely look it up on the makers site ) 

What setting will he likely use? ( how high will he turn it up? )

The oven, is it a industrial unit or a home cooking oven?

What is the exact input amps? If it is a home oven you need to know the amps 
of the oven element only.  The range top elements can be disabled so you won't 
over load the house wiring in case they are turned on.

What is the breaker size for this run?

If you do extend the wiring,don't mix Al and copper,  be sure to get cable 
clamps rated for aluminum wire and use the black anticorrosion gel before you 
put the wires together.  The cable clamps are a nut/bolt unit that has a slot 
cut down the center of the bolt.
