Chapter 1
How to explain a Welder to your child
A Welder joins pieces of metal together so they become one strong piece. They put on a mask with dark glass and thick gloves, then use a tool that makes a tiny, very hot spark that melts the edges of the metal so they stick together as they cool. For example, a Welder might join metal bars to build a playground climbing frame, or mend a crack in a garden gate. They read drawings, measure carefully, and work alongside builders.
Because of a Welder, the swings hold steady when you push high, and the gate closes properly again. When something metal breaks, a Welder can often give it a second chance instead of it being thrown away. And when something new is built, like a ladder, a bike rack or the frame of a building, every careful join helps everyone use it with confidence.
