Basic Welding Theory
This section is ready for your reading. Please give me feedback as I am not so sure the theory is correct.

A very good piece for basic theory. And I like the heat color table. The theory is right on.
Your description of the TIG setup might also include the coolant lines that help carry the tip heat away. In reading it, I also wondered if the newbie would know what the terms MIG and TIG meant. (MIG is "metal inert gas", TIG is "tungsten inert gas".)
There is also a context typo: "The easy way to prevent oxides is to prevented air from touching the surface of the pool. Thus, the weld pool is protected either by flux or a shielding gas."
I liked your way to explain how welding different thicknesses was like carrying a heavy suitcase in one hand.
I like it.

There is also a context typo: "prevented ".

*****,
Wow man! looking good, very informative.
There is another small typo.....The first sentance of the second paragraph...
(Metal (and all other mater) is very much the same).....
I think mater should be matter.
Man you guys are really kicking butt on the welding articles!! Excellent work!!

Acording to Mr. Webster, mater = mother and (dang it) matter is a physical substance.
Thanks - I have made the change and it should be correct now.
You guys think that section needs some pictures or illistrations?

Yeah. Pictures of the "business end" of each weld equipment type like gas, stick, MIG, TIG in the welding position (with rod, etc) maybe ready to strike an arc would be cool. It would help illustrate the nerrative. They could be dropped in next to the description paragraph (you're good at that).
Pics of the weld puddle would be great, but I have never seen that done successfully because of the extreme light generated.

Would it be possible to take one though a second welding helmet (Like an auto darkening one) while someone else welds?
No eye burns that way, but I don't know how well a camera would do.
