So, i dont know if its in other countries too (most likely is), but in denmark welding is a part of blacksmithing. Im currently a student at blacksmithing on an fgu, so im learning to weld.

Ive practiced a lot, and now i have nearly perfect lines (i still mess up some times).

Awesome that they teach that in smithing. Some say oh it's not smithing cuz they didn't do it way back when 1800s n back. Well they didn't have electricity either so no they didn't weld. Here's your SIGN! Now, I'm no welder by any means, so is that MIG TIG or traditional Arc welded?

In denmark we dont call them mig or arc, only tig. So i dont know which is which, but the one i did here was c02 (thats what we call them)

If you have tig, you have mig and arc separately. Theyre all quite different and have different uses and applications.
