I want to make a pipe pole with larger diameter pipe
on the bottom and with a smaller diameter on top.

Is there a way to weld something like this together?

The only way I could think of was to have the smaller
diameter pipe run the entire length and use some sort
of bushing at both ends of the larger diameter. Making
the welds there.

Is there a slick way other than this?


Thanks.


If you are using bushings, weld the bushings to the smaller pipe. Drop the
smaller pipe inside the larger one and weld the top bushing to the larger
pipe. If you really need to weld the other bushings or if the top bushing
won't be flush with the larger pipe, I would think a plug weld would do the
trick.
