It is going to be under tension (around 50-70 lbs) so i figured a single
piece would be better, but now I am not sure its important, flattening the
rod and overlapping the weld seems like it would be plenty strong enough to
join 2 pieces.

That sounds like a very good idea, overlapping and welding. I have access to
a mig, arc, and oxy aceteline(spelling?) welders, (luckily my brother is a
tool greedy mechanic), which would be best for such small work? I have a
very small amount of experience with each but can allways get my brother to
teach me what is needed. I would ask him to do it but he is a bit rough and
ready for my liking, no finesse' at all ;-)
thanks for all the replys!
