Welding 101
Marcus Bell is 19, a helper at a Fort Worth fabrication shop — a fictional shop, a real ladder. He's swept floors, ground welds, and watched for six months. He wants the hood. You'll follow him through four acts and build your own versions as you go.
Next on the ladder: Welding 202 · the work, the tools, and the money · and the T5 Welding & Metal Fabrication office, when you choose a mentor.
The gate is open and the plan is set. The acts themselves — lessons, practice, guides, and narration — are in the Forge now, and each will be reviewed by a qualified welding professional before it opens. Nothing you click here is stored or sent anywhere.
