I like your write-ups. The welded diff one made me cringe a little though. See I have a thing called OCD and I saw all the welding beads everywhere and wanted to take a grinder and dremel and make everything smooth. I took my diff to a welding shop. They used a welder the size of my car to weld it. It turned out really good. And it only cost $50.

I didnt do any grinding. Just had to clean a few beads out. The weld was done with a very high powered machine. The gears actually melted together, it was pretty cool. The gears will never be separated again.
no
the one pictured is done with a Lincoln mig welder. welded on all side bro and has held for 2 years and going with drag drifting and auto-x
it doesn't have to be pretty, i just has to be done correctly.
I fused all the gears together and then filled each side with a full spool of wire. if you welded your half shafs in... that's not good.
ps
no offense taken at all bro.
