Welcome to WelderFind.com — Where Welding Meets Expertise.
I’m James Smith, the founder of WelderFind. I started this website three years ago with a simple goal: to share practical welding knowledge and help others find the right tools and techniques in a sea of confusing information online.
My welding journey began in California, where I trained at GKwelding, a vocational welding institute known for hands-on, real-world instruction.
I worked under Michael Magno, a seasoned project manager at GKwelding in Richmond, CA.
His mentorship, along with the institute’s advanced metalwork program, shaped my understanding of welding as both a skill and a craft.
Today, I live in New York and continue to work on welding projects while expanding the reach of this website. WelderFind is now evolving—from a blog about welding tips to a full-fledged knowledge and service platform. We aim to offer expert-backed project advice, product reviews, welding process guides, and even consultations with real professionals in the welding industry.
Whether you’re a hobbyist, a student, or a professional welder, this site is built to support your journey.
