Summary: Welding is the process by which metals are joined or united. Usually welding involves melting the metals themselves or some filler material into a molten 'weld puddle' that then cools and hardens to form a strong joint. Until the end of the 19th century, the only welding process was forge welding, which blacksmiths had used for centuries to join metals by heating and pounding them. But later, more advanced ways of joining welding became possible like arc welding, oxyfuel welding, and resistance welding. But whether using energy sources like a gas flame or electric arc, or more advanced sources like lasers or electron beams welding remains a dangerous but extremely useful fabrication process.

In this free video series, our expert Terry Leafty will teach you about safety equipment including hoods, body protection, sleeves, and welding hats before showing you the different types of welders. Terry will teach you how to make welding adjustments, how to fill gaps, and how to clean and refurbish your welder, and how to change the welding tip and nozzle. Whether your a master welder or mechanically challenged this video series has tips and advice that can help you.
