Setting Up A Welding Shop
Sooner or later if you run an auto shop you will need to weld something. At first, you may just find a place on the concrete safely away from flammable materials and other people. Once outside you can set up your arc welder choose one of your favorite welding helmets and start welding. But eventually, it may become necessary to set up a dedicated area as a welding shop. There are many advantages to having a dedicated welding shop. Some welding processes are simply not suited to outside work. For example, gas metal and gas tungsten require surrounding air to be still. This is because the shielding gas can be blown away. Arc welding should only be done in dry areas and away from the rain due to the electric shock hazard. Another reason is the outside temperature. Cold metals do not weld as well as metal at 70 degrees F. Welding is a dangerous activity and your surroundings should be as controlled as possible. Use a welding machine in the outdoors leaves too many variables and welding right in the middle of your auto shop is just too dangerous.
During the welding process sparks and bits of slag can scatter up to 40 feet from the area of welding. This can cause damage to people and create a fire hazard. In your welding shop you build a metal table to do your welding on and stay away from wood or other materials that can catch fire. The welding shop should be in an area that is well ventilated. Welding can generate dangerous gases that need to be removed from the room and smoke as well. Also, bright overhead light needs to be set up and aimed over your welding table. If your auto shop has an extra room with cinder block walls and a concrete floor, you are in luck. This will make an ideal place for your welding shop. You want to avoid any surface that can be damaged or set on fire by sparks and hot slag.
Once you have your room set up correctly, various power tools will be needed as well as your welding accessories. Power tools such as a reciprocating saw, angle grinder, portable band saw, and a chop saw will come in handy during your welding projects. An angle grinder is ideal for removing excess slag and cleaning up rough edges on metal. Specific tools for working on metal will be needed as well. These include metal brakes and metal benders that are available for all sizes of metal. Other suggested tools are magnetic clamp, center punch, metal file, C-clamp, corner clamp, cold chisel, ball peen hammer and a hacksaw. This not a complete list but is generally a good place to start. The list of tools you can use in welding is almost endless and you will constantly discover new tools that you will need as you become more advanced in the art of welding.
Setting up a welding shop is really about common sense more than technical know how. Neophytes to welding are quick to forget about the extreme temperatures needed in the welding process and therefore do not realize the fire hazard of a welding area. If you are more experienced, it is fairly obvious that carpet in your welding shop is not a good idea. A good welding shop not only protects the welder and aids in good welding but it protects the other people in your auto shop by not exposing them to hot sparks and blinding light.

any suggestions? PLEASE ANSWER! 10 pts?
roughly eight months ago if fell off my scooter on a ramp about six foot high and i hit the concrete floor. But my knee landed on the corner of the clamp (you can laugh if you want it was quite funny). Now im having all sorts of problems with it like you cant tap it or im in quite alot of pain for a while and it feels stiff sometimes. If you feel both knees at the same time it feels like the knee i injured has a gap or dent in it.I am going to the doctors on Monday and i just want to know what im in for so any suggestions as to wha this could be and the treatment of it.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!
It could be all sorts of things, If the knee cap is dented or cracked, it will repair itself stronger when it heals. But your knee cap could also be out of place or you could have dislocated it. It could even just be the swelling, making your knee appear to have a dent in it. Either way, there is no need to worry. The bones in the knee are some of the quickest healing bones in the body, so will heal fast on thier own, without damage. Check with a doctor of course just to make sure but the
trick is to give it the time to heal, and, if it interferes with the movement of your knee, or if it does give you bone on bone grating when flexing your knee you should see a knee specialists immediately.Obviously it is going to be painful, and i would say take lots of pain killer and hold ice or a bag of frozen peas on your knee. Hope all is well, get well soon
