Hi guys i am trying to get a good weld look for this fireydrant i am working on, i am kinda stuck on approaching it. i tried to use boolean union but the weld looks real bad any ideas? i am still in the process of learning modeling so any help would be great. Thanks

I think I have seen this same post before?

Anyway, extrude the bit that is sticking out, I really do advice you not you use booleans, they create a messy geometry. Extrude it from the side and be careful that there are enough subdivisions so it won't look squarish. :)

hey, for this situation I would use a much lower polygon cylinder. then I would extrude a few polys out and smooth it in the end.
