Stick welding, also known as shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), is a super cool welding process that you can totally get into. With stick welding , you use an electrode, or a "stick" if you will, that's coated with flux to create a protective shield around the weld. All you gotta do is hold that stick in one hand, the electrode holder in the other, and get ready to lay down some seriously awesome molten metal!
