It's getting its own room. Building a addition so it can be anchored, and to cut down on noise in the shop.

As far as welds.... I was stuck with a stick welder. Dose that effect the integrity? There is penitration, but was not able to keep a weld longer that 8-10 inchs.

Nothing wrong with stick welding, it is just that any madly vibrating structure is likely to suffer from fatigue cracks and the ends of welds are good places for them to start.
