Or maybe the piece still needs to be fixed.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you learn how to weld, you can start fixing your own machinery, and even custom fabricate equipment that you need around the farm.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Types of Welding<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without getting too far into the science (and there is a lot of science), welding is a process of joining two pieces of metal together using heat, frequently in the form of electricity.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a variety of different ways to fuse metal together. And each of the commonly used <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">welding processes<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have their own benefits and drawbacks.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hobbyfarms.com\/a-farmers-guide-to-buying-a-welder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Check out out buyer&#8217;s guide for farmer in search of a welder!<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Stick Welding<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For repairs around the farm, most people prefer stick welding.\u00a0 It&#8217;s true that other welding processes can give cleaner and sometimes stronger welds. But stick welding can allow you to join together relatively dirty or rusty surfaces.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think repairing a rusty gate that someone backed a trailer into. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stick welding can also work on a variety of different metals&#8211;including iron, steel and aluminum&#8211;making it a versatile option around the farm.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Metal Inert Gas<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you anticipate doing a lot of fabrication, on the other hand, MIG (metal inert gas) welding might be a better fit. Unlike stick welding, MIG uses a \u201cshielding gas\u201d to protect the weld from contamination. This creates a generally cleaner and stronger weld.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maybe, for instance, your farm truck needs a new roof rack to transport lengths of lumber or pipe around the property.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learning multiple welding processes doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that you have to purchase multiple welders. Some welders are \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/weldguru.com\/best-multi-process-welder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">multi-process<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,\u201d meaning that they will allow you to switch back and forth between various welding processes, including stick and MIG.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Select a Process<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Begin by figuring out what kind of metalwork you anticipate needing to do around your farm.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you frequently breaking tractor implements, trailer hitches or gates? If so, leaning to stick weld would probably be the way to go.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maybe, on the other hand you\u2019ve always had ideas about how to modify or fabricate machinery but have never had a way to do so. If so, MIG might be a better match.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hobbyfarms.com\/fence-repair-tools-spring-livestock-pastures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>What&#8217;s the best way to approach spring fence repair?<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><b>Basic Equipment<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve decided on a process, it\u2019s time to buy the equipment and materials you\u2019ll need.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Used welders (especially stick welders) pop up on Craigslist all the time, so make sure to look around for used options. Depending on the kind of welder you buy, you may need to purchase some gas canisters, electrodes or spools of wire to get your welder running.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given the dangers of welding, it\u2019s important to use safety equipment whenever you\u2019re working. Invest in a good welding helmet, ear protection, fire-resistant clothing and heavy-duty welding gloves.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given the kinds of metals you plan on welding, you may need to use a respirator as well.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, you\u2019ll need an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/b\/Tools-Power-Tools-Grinders-Angle-Grinders\/N-5yc1vZc2fw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">angle grinder<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to cut and clean metal, some clamps to hold your projects in place and a welding hammer to chip away the slag from your welds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Getting Started<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Ready to learn how to weld?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like any new skill, welding takes time to master. The best way to learn how to weld is with a friend or mentor who has been doing it for a while.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, you can also teach yourself.
