I have a steel 4″ square vertical column that needs to have a 3ft extension added to it. Would the best way to be insert a smaller square piece 18″ into the existing and 18″ into the extension, then plug weld at each end then butt weld the two outer pieces? Any flaws in this?

I need to make a quadricycle, to use it for a taxi. I have no idea how to make one. It needs to have room to carry two people pedalling, and at least one person along for the ride. I don’t have the cash for welding rods, so I can’t weld.

My Fiance wants a new welder for Christmas and im clueless. Someone said a stick and arc are the same, is that true? Also I’m on a budget so if they pretty much work the same but one runs cheaper let me know, Thank you!

Hi, I am trying to use a webcam (Logitech Quickcam Express) to take pictures of the Sun throughout the day for one of the projects I am working on. In order to protect the camera lens from being burnt by the direct sunlight, I think it might be a good idea to place a piece of welding glass in front of the camera. However, I need to determine the optimal shade number of the welding glass for my particular application. Does anyone know what shade number(s) I should choose? Thanks.

As someone experienced in this area, the answer is to work at home. I have been a stay at home mom for eleven years. Many of them successfully employed at home adding to our family’s income. But what does one do to work at home? There are so many work at home scams that just waste your money. Why not take advice from someone who is successfully working at home?

I have found building websites to be the perfect job for a stay at home moms. The hours are flexible, I can work while my children are napping or after they go to bed. Now that they are in school I can work while they are at school and still have time to volunteer in their classrooms and be home after school for them. You no longer need advanced computer skills to build websites with the programs they have available today. If you can read and follow directions, you can do it.

An information website provides an unlimited income potential. You do the work once and get paid over and over. You can sell products or sell advertising on your website. One thing I love about building websites is, when summer comes, I put my website on autopilot and can enjoy time with my kids and the income keeps coming in. When school starts again I can continue to add content and improve my sites.

It is also important to not completely loose yourself in your role as a mom. It is important to connect with other adults and have something of your own, instead of always just giving to others.
