Skills
- MIG (GMAW): Uses a continuous wire feed and shielding gas; it is fast and easy to learn [1, 2]
- Stick (SMAW): Uses a flux-coated consumable rod; it is portable and works well outdoors on thick or dirty steel [1, 2]
- Blueprint reading
- Flux-Cored (FCAW): Similar to MIG but uses flux-filled wire, making it great for windy outdoor conditions [1, 2]
