Default Welding vs. Tapping vs. Roll Pin

wrote in message
...
I want to permanently attach 3/8" diameter rods to 3/8" rods
end-to-end and was looking for advice on the best way to accomplish
this. The methods I'm considering are welding, tapping, or use of a
roll pin.

The rods will only be about 3-1/2" long, and the pieces that I want
to attach are 1/2" long.

Perhaps a combination of the attachment methods mentioned for this
rod extension project would be warranted.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

That sounds like an easy lathe job. Do you have one?
