Many of us are experiencing a severe drop in temperatures, not only does this force us to move many of our activities indoors it can also limit the amount of welding that can be done outdoors in some climates. If you have not designed or built an indoor welding shop, now may be the perfect time to do so. Not only will a welding area help protect you from the elements when you have to weld, it will also allow you to complete any jobs that may come your way during the colder
winter months.
