A new partnership between Lincoln Electric and ASM International will teach the science behind welding.

Barbie "The Welder" Parsons shares a few words of wisdom on how to weld, create and inspire like a true welding master.

Optrel’s new crystal2.0 welding helmet pairs with the company’s e3000 PAPR powered air purifying respirator to create a system that delivers active eye protection, visual clarity, and safety against airborne particulates for workers during welding or grinding operations.   

Considering OSHA’s new three-part definition (1926.1202) of a “confined space” — which will be used to assess violations of the accumulation of toxic or flammable contaminates in a confined space — it is now more important than ever to have an extraction technology for welding done in shop.

Together, Josh and Linsey Buckley share a decade of marriage, two sons, and now, new job prospects as apprentices at the Western Washington Sheet Metal JATC Local 66. 

Much of what Alicia Butty knows about welding, she learned as a teenager working in her family’s custom manufacturing business, Butty Manufacturing in Jerseyville, Ontario.

At the Brooklyn, New York-based Gentlemen Sheet Metal, second-year apprentice Tiffany Crawford is a standout on the shop floor. Not only is she a woman in a painfully male dominated industry, her fiery work ethic is quickly positioning her to be a formidable force in ductwork fabrication.   

Using her skills as a welder, Barbie Parsons has crafted a major following as an artist who is inspiring women and men across the country to think about working with their hands.
