To weld a couple of them on a pipe, will probably take about an hr by the time you figure setup, setting machine, cleaning, and cleanup. How much you will pay will vary greatly...by location, and skill of the welder. I mean, if you knew 100% they would be done right and look great, you probably woudn't have a problem paying $100 to have it done, would you? Odds are, it won't be that much. Therefore, I'd just be very selective as to who you have do it. Make sure you see some of their other work, expecially some AC aluminum. My best guess would be that you will wind up paying about $40-75. Anything under $40 and I would have to wonder why it's so cheap. You know the old "too good to be true" thing. Perhaps the guy isn't worth crap and he's not really worth that.

Let me know how it turns out.
