  • Vintage stick welding film

    I just ran across this training film produced by General Electric in 1942 about stick welding. It's a great, no-frills tutorial from a bygone era. But everything still applies.

    Gee thanks a lot. Now you have done it. I had some work to do this morning but I am now hooked on watching old GE videos I do have to admit these old GE clips are fascinating.

    Turnabout being fair play let me point you to one of my favorites - back in the days of iron men and wooden (handled) welders https://archive.org/details/SF174

    Also on archive.org https://archive.org/details/WeldingO1942 This is one of a great series of vocational guidance films. Do a search on "Holmes (Burton) Films" if you have a few hours to spend
