How Does Welding Work?
Welding in its most basic form is simply heating two materials until they melt together, usually adding a bit of extra metal to make the joint stronger.
The most common type of welding is arc welding, which uses a small electric arc to generate the heat for melting the metals. And there are three main types of Arc welding, MIG, TIG, and Stick. While each one is different, they all use an electrode (to generate the arc), a filler metal (to create the weld bead) and something to ‘shield’ the weld from being contaminated by oxygen.
Hot New Music of the Day
The homie sent over a new music video from neo-psychedelic rock band Pearl Earl. It’s called “Evil Does It” and it’s off their latest album It’s Dread that was just released. The song details the insanity that is celebrity worship and a society that is plagued by over consumerism. Fuzzy bass, reverb soaked guitars and hard-hitting vocals make this song a standout.

We have it all backward. We spend our work hours helping someone else build their dream, and spend our free time watching TV and surfing the internet. We think we enjoy these things – but this is a lie.
The truth is that these mindless things distract us from achieving the things we really want to achieve in life. They make us forget that time is the most precious and irreplaceable commodity in the world.
When your final countdown begins, you cannot buy more time. Not even if you’re a billionaire (Steve Jobs died at 56!) The time you’ve spent is all there is.
What’s scary? You don’t know when that final countdown will come. It may be fifty years from now, or ten years – or tomorrow. You’ll never know…
