Have you ever tried to glue two popsicle sticks together in arts and crafts? Well, welding is sort of like that, except it isn't at all. In all seriousness, welding is a craft that like any other requires a lot of experience under your belt, and hundreds of hours of practice to be able to master it. Before you are able to do that however, you will need to get the right tools to help you get started. Aside from the many different types of available welding torches, there is also a large assortment of other items as well. While there are many welding tools you can get that can be perfect for the certain task that they are specifically designed for, they can all be generally divided into two groups – Protection gear and Shaping equipment.
Dealing with DIY projects at home can be fun, but sometimes challenging and very time-consuming, demanding a lot of effort if you aren’t relying on the adequate tools. Such is also the case with renovation, restoring, and painting projects that require removing paint, corrosion, or rust. Even if you’re not restoring your car, or fixing the floorpan, having in mind many items in your home can be subjected to rusting, and would require cleaning sooner or later, is reason enough to consider the purchase of an air compressor sandblaster a wise investment. The process this tool is based on the same abrasive blasting process that goes back to 1870 when Benjamin Chew Tilghman, a US army officer and inventor, came up with it and patented it. Sandblasting is made possible when fine particles, that act as abrasive material, are propelled with a high speed towards a certain surface, meant either for cleaning or etching. You wouldn’t only save on time but force as well since you’d be able to get clean and smooth surfaces quicker and easier. sandblaster
Whether aware of it or not, as humans we've always wanted to leave some sort of legacy for future generations, something to be remembered for, and construction of buildings and cities has always served that purpose. Sure, times have changed, and we now have technology and machinery to rely on to simplify the process for us, but the purpose remains the same. While it's certainly uplifting to think we're part of the most advanced and laborious era, people have long used techniques and means in construction that we still use today. Take cement for instance, the very core of construction as the binder that serves as glue holding materials together. Cement reached its peak during the glory of the Roman Empire, but Romans were in fact using an ancient recipe for a mixture that could be traced all the way back to the years of Ancient Macedonia, which goes to show the making of concrete by mixing cement, sand (or gravel) and water, and bricks was present throughout history.

Regardless whether you're a DIY enthusiast, have a hobby in woodworking or metalworking, a career in contracting or simply don't like other men fixing your house problems for you, having the basic hand tools is a must. Anything worth doing is worth doing right, right?...

Tools are for a men what make up is for women – you simply can't get enough of them so you buy and buy and buy, you know, just in case. I personally had a big fascination with tools which cost me thousands of dollars. But the sad thing was that they just sat in my garage, scattered all over the place. And it seemed as if I was cursed to never find what I was looking for at the moment I needed it. Luckily, my wife knows me so well that she realized exactly what I needed but somehow never thought about buying. So the perfect out-of-the-blue gift came in the form of a multi tool Leatherman. God, I love this woman!
