As summer is beginning to wind down, many welders are turning their attention to fall welding projects that they would like to attempt before the weather turns too cold. Some of these late summer projects can include welding storage units or making improvements to your welding area. If you are in need of a new welding table to work on during the winter months, now is the perfect time to work on one. We have many different designs and plans located on our website.
While you’re compiling a list of projects to complete before the weather turns too cold, we hope you enjoy the latest welding news in this edition of the weekly roundup.
