Especially in this economy, there's no shortage of experienced workers. You'll probably need a formal internship or apprenticeship.

It does not protect camera lens at all. Go to a store and buy appropriate filter even a bigger one and attach it to your camera. Do not use welding glass. It does not protect camera lens at all.

It's awesome that you got it all on video though. I'd love to see the welder guys deny that in court. Crazy. . . It’s awesome that you got it all on video though.

a name brand such as lincoln miller etc
practice with the 6013
switch to 7018 for higher strength

mig welds are strong but brittle they will break without warning if overloaded
and yes i know a lot of shops use the mig on everything
but if they see what i see all of the time they wouldn,t
arc welds will usually start cracking before they fail

on the lighter metals you are talking about the mig would be ok or if you plan to do any aluminum welding
but if you want to go to heavier metal later the arc welder is better

most of my welding is done on 3/4 inch or thicker metal
i will use my mig if it is nonstructural

if you think what i say about a mig is not true try fillet welds on 1/4 inch plate then bend them

It would specify method (mig, co2, stick, submerged arc, etc.), material for the base metal and the filler metal, directions of travel, position of the weld (horizontal, vertical, angular, etc), voltage, and similar variables. Any WPS must be qualified to demonstrate that it produces the weld characteristics that are desired. It then becomes the recipe so to speak for each welder to follow. A WPS is typically written by a person experienced in welding. The WPS is the specific directions instructing the welder in how to execute the weld.
