The creator of this site is the strange and bizzare  master welder himself, JeffMagill.  His eyesight deformed at birth by an industrial accident while his family was living over a nuclear waste dump, he must wear these powder blue welding glassesat all times.
Forced into a working
world of heat and sparks, 
he forged ahead became a high school welding teacher.
This naturally transitioned into the professional part time welding inspector he is today.
He still enjoys welding as a hobby.
