I don't know much about or use stick welding so most stick guys sure familiar with this but some starting out might find it interesting or get you thinking.

You went to WW????!!!

That's forbidden ground for WTAT members!!!!

Yes AKweldshop I was at WW I read a few of the things over there and see a lot of our guys there also but never signed up to much drama and peeing matches over there in my opinion. That's why I joined WTaT took me awhile after a lot of lurking but the conversations over here seem lot more helpful to those seeking advice or having troubles then what I see at WW.

Oops sry. ok well now we got a link to the Lincoln Website on it too then.

I love seeing these old 40's videos about welding they're awesome. Anyone know where I could see some more or can someone put some links ?

They are all over the youtube, here are some (one is old enough to be silent)

These are great videos!! I love that blast from the past. Sometimes I wish I could have lived back in the "old" days. But.....then I wouldn't have all this new welding technology.

Its a great view of the past, really shows why we have the safety systems we have today.

Neat old videos. A lot of fun to watch and some good info. The quality of the arc shots was surprisingly good.
