[b]Steel Column Extension[/b]
(OP)
I have a small steel frame structure that needs to be raised a few feet to increase its height. I am considering adding a steel column stub to the bottom of the existing column and bolting the two sections together.
Does anyone have a better way and a sketch of how to do it.

Have you investigated the strength of the existing structure for the extra few feet? That could be adding a decent about to your lateral forces and moments in the members.
