Starting over on the welding
Jul 29 2010, 9:41 PM EDT | Post edited: Jul 29 2010, 9:41 PM EDT
I'm starting my series on welding tonight with an intro to welding theory and then an article on SMAW. I apologize to anyone who has already done their own article, i mean no disrespect, I just feel that this is something you really cannot sum up in a single page article.

these articles will be under the essential skills page, look forward to the following subjects in the coming months

Gas Tungsten Arc Welding
Gas Metal Arc Welding
OxyAcetylene welding and Oxyfuel Cutting
Plasma cutting
Brazing and soldering
Gas Storage and delivery systems
Welding Cast Iron
Steel metallurgy
Welding Terminology
Q/A

If ya'll have any questions you can post them here or PM me.

With my knowledge of metal work being equal to a cow pie I am really glad to see this. I will be looking forward to your articles and hope to learn a great deal from you!

no, most cameras aren't sensitive enough to pick all of the light from the welding arc and there's lenses that will block some of the light too.

wanna learn about welding? well here ya go:

I started on the Arc Welding Fundamentals portion. I'm having difficulty deciding what to put into this section and what would be better off being put into other sections, so this one may take some time.

Comments are always appreciated.

i'm reading it brandon. it'd be good for a budding gunsmith like me to learn how to weld, though i could probably get my dad to teach me too.
