Vol. 03: Primer: Welding
If you need metal stuck together, there is no quicker path than buying a portable 110-volt wire-feed welder. Mr. Jalopy's introduction to welding will help you understand the process and show how you can be a welder by the end of the weekend--and end up with a couple of jigs for the effort.

Great article!
But how do I find a safe place to weld? My basement is too small (there's definitely not 8 feet from flammable items), and my guess is that a garage is a bad idea (stored gasoline, etc.). Any ideas?Posted by Dontlooknow on October 01, 2005 at 10:02:12 Pacific Time

Kudos to Mister Jalopy on a great "maker" article. I have always looked at the welders and wondered how great it would be to have one at home.
Now to convince the wife ;)Posted by Rob_G on August 25, 2005 at 14:59:00 Pacific Time
