Lighting Tips for Your Kitchen

by Tom Sanderrs

There is no room in your home that gets more traffic than the kitchen. There are lots of families who use the kitchen to eat in and also to prepare food. Luckily there is a wide selection of light fixtures to deal with these activities.

The size of your kitchen will determine the type of lights you may need. For example a small kitchen may only need a ceiling light with some task lighting for the counters and sink. Larger kitchens on the other hand will need more varieties of illumination.

Tig Welder Basics

by William Bookmaker

The “TIG” in TIG welding stands for Tungsten Inert Gas. But before it was named so, it was called “Heliarc” because of the helium that was dominantly used when the process was invented. But then someone discovered that argon worked better and so it was called “TIG” because inert gas could refer to either helium or argon.

Soon later, it was discovered that small additions of hydrogen worked well for some metals. The word “inert” no longer applied to the new discovery. Thus, the technical term for what used to be called TIG and Heliarc is now “GTAW” or Gas Tungsten Arc Welding.
