Welding is equal parts art and science. So when it comes time to join two pieces of metal, you better have a solid handle on both.
The good news is, getting started in the fabrication world isn’t as tough as it sounds and, with a few tips and pointers under your belt, you’ll be able to start developing your welding skills.
That’s why we liked this video from the welding wizards over at Lincoln Electric.
This quick video covers the five different types of weld joints that you have to be comfortable with before you start any serious fabrication:
