mig welding linear shaft

I know we have addressed this before, and the consensus was that it was BAD.

However, has anyone actualy DONE this? What were your results, good and bad?

I realize if I run a bead down the entire length of the shaft I'd screw it
up. But, what if I tack weld, skipping around to different spots? Take my
time, keep the total heat low? Does anyone have any practical experiance
doing this?
