How to reinforce the sides and bottom of a cylinder?

Hi,
I have already made fillets for my project (for holes, box edges...), but can't seem to do it with cylinders.
Maybe I'm wrong, and fillets are not the tool to use for this need. I would like to reinforce the base of the cylinder with a "skirt", and make some kind of "weld" between the cylinder wall and the orange wall.
Do you know how I should proceed (if I ever made myself clear).

Fillets/chamfers only work on edges that belong to the same part. Because the cylinder wall is round, there are no edges between the orange and gray.
You can choose "Add" from the extrude feature, or use "boolean->Union" to combine the parts, then you can fillet.
If you want the parts separate, then sketch the arc on the face of the clyinder and extude that. Or do the above then use "split" and select the cylinder wall as the cut plane.7

Thanks a bunch, John, it worked as expected.
