## Resource

In this episode, host Beau Wigington breaks down 27 different welding processes and ranks them by utility, accessibility, and overall cool factor. From shop staples like MIG, TIG, stick, and flux core to niche processes like atomic hydrogen, electron beam, and thermite welding, Beau gives his honest take on which methods are the most practical, which are the most interesting, and which ones are just plain fun to talk about. Whether you’re new to welding or already deep in the trade, this episode is a great overview of how many different paths exist in the welding world, and why some processes earn a permanent place in the conversation.
