About me

Welcome, I am Andrew, the owner, and writer of Weldpundit.com.

Welding has a way of attracting people who enjoy working with their hands. I still remember the first time I struck an arc back in 2001.

The instant melting of the metal and watching the puddle through the welding helmet was captivating.

Since then, I haven't stopped welding and fabricating various projects from metal.

I decided to start this blog as a helpful online guide for everyone who wants to learn more about the welding processes, equipment, and techniques.
