There are quite a few welding shows out there ranging from a competition, to the daily work of an emergency welding crew in Alaska. We put together a list of some hot welding shows we think are worth streaming!
Alaskan Steel Men
Alaskan Steel Men is definitely the most interesting welding show that is out currently. The show follows a family welding business Quality Marine of Alaska. They are a husband and wife team that have assembled a talented group of welders to accomplish tough jobs. They specialize in emergency marine repair so there is no lack of work during Alaska's fishing season. During peak crab season in Alaska, time is money. So these welders work fast to get fishing boats up and running. Take a look at one episodes sneak preview below.
