SHEET TWF·GUIDES REV 2026-08-20 8 guides registered

Welding and fabrication guides

Eight long-form guides cover procedure paperwork, joint geometry, welding processes, workshop hazards, resource efficiency and training. Technical claims cite named public sources inline, with the full register at the foot of each guide. Diagrams are drawn for this site rather than copied from another publication.

Card images are generated illustrations created for this site, not photographs of inspected work.

The guides cite their evidence inline and list it in a source register at the foot of each guide. The full register, with publisher and accessed dates kept distinct, lives on the sources sheet. Reading time uses the rendered guide text at 150 words per minute, rounded up. For the calculators the guides cross-reference, see the tool register; for how every figure is produced, the methodology sheet.
