The REAL World of Welding
Let High Steel and Lincoln Electric bring you up close and personal to the REAL World of Welding. Try your hand at virtual welding and see if you’ve got the steady welder’s hand. Then dress the part of the arc welder with welding helmet and shirt and actually join two plates by ARC welding. You never know what is to come next as you become a WELDER for a day.
