Welding safety
Living the Country Life Radio Program
It's amazing how handy a skill like welding is when you live on an acreage. Whether you're repairing a piece of machinery or making a custom gate latch, you'll find all kinds of things to make and fix when you learn to weld. Of course, since welding is basically melting metal with fire, it's dangerous. From the top of your head to the tips of your toes, the right gear is essential. Listen to Living the Country Life on the radio for information on welding helmets, and learn why it's especially important to pay attention to your shoes when welding.
