Empowering DIY Welders: The Launch of Strike-Arc Academy's How-To YouTube Series

In the ever-evolving world of DIY projects, welding remains a coveted yet intimidating skill for many. Recognising this, Strike-Arc, has taken a step to demystify welding for DIYers and hobbyists. Introducing the Strike-Arc Academy – a new YouTube series designed to empower aspiring welders with the knowledge and confidence they need to embark on their welding journeys.


Innovations Making Welding More Accessible

Gone are the days when welding was synonymous with cumbersome, intimidating machinery. Today’s welders and plasma cutters are not only compact but also safer and easier to use, thanks to continuous innovations in welding technology. This transformation has made welding more accessible to a broader audience, particularly DIYers who are eager to learn but often hesitant to take the plunge.
