this chap was welding bed frames together to be sold in a nearby shop. I asked if I could take a picture of him working and he kindly obliged.
Welding and joining technologies are fundamental to engineering and manufacturing. Without the ability to make strong and durable connections between materials it would be impossible to produce the many different items we all rely on in our everyday lives – from the very large (buildings, pipelines, trains and bridges) to the very small (medical implants and electronic devices).
TWI has its roots in welding and joining technology and over many years has been responsible for developing and encouraging the adoption of new techniques and best practice in all industry sectors, providing its Members with the right manufacturing choices first time.

Monday morning, my dad made an OW (please pronounce "oh double-you" to send to his brother.
This is pretty much what it looked like from inside my welder's helmet. Everything completely dark with one really bright spot.

Friction Stir Welding was invented by Wayne Thomas at TWI Ltd in 1991 and overcomes many of the problems associated with traditional joining techniques. Friction Stir Welding is a solid state process which produces welds of high quality in difficult to weld materials such as aluminium and is fast becoming the process of choice for manufacturing light weight transport structures such as boats, trains and aeroplanes.

Every large city in every developing nation has its scrap parts district. In Kigali, it is Gatsata. Here, a man welds a mirror onto a minibus. Parts from numerous wrecked buses are salvaged to create a new-ish minibus, or share taxi.

The seismic retrofit underway outside my window feels like an architectural root canal.
The whole building was resonant with the drill today.
