Thank you guys. That is lot of very good informations and tips you gave there.

I've been thinking about it all the past week. Now, I have cut my stainless steel elbows and tubes and they are ready to be assembled. But when I see the price of the stainless steel welding wire, I'm wondering if it worth spending this money without being sure of the result and its quality.

So I'm going to talk to the welder I know next week, and see how much he would charge. After all, it is only 3 junctions to be welded.

Thank a lot.

Tig weld it and use pure argon, and if you can rig a second outlet from your Argon supply, tape off one end of the pipe and push trough some small holes, then put your second Argon supply in from the other end and seal it inside either with masking tape on manufacture a bug that allows you to feed argon inside to purge the air out of the weld area. This greatly improves the quality of the weld.
