I've always wondered what metals can be bonded (e.g. welded) to what other metals, and for the ones that cannot, why?
I am looking for some input for my new YouTube channel that teaches shop skills.

What are some basic tool, woodworking, or metal working skills that you have been wanting to learn but you have been to afraid to ask? Or don't know where to go?
It can be something very simple.
Thanks!

Along these same lines, stick welding with the widely-available AC welders. Also, what rods work best overall and for different positions and currents.
I just burned up a bunch of 6013 and 7014 trying to find a good combo for some 1/8" wall tubing and flat bar. 7014 is easy to use, but didn't seem to penetrate very well. 6013 wanted to burn holes in everything. I accidentally made some decent welds with the 6013, but damned if I know how or why it happened.
Thank you for the idea. It might be the blind leading the blind. My welding looks like chicken poop!
This is a good idea. It would possibly cover soldering, brazing, welding?
Yeah. Good. I don't really even know the difference between those, I soldered electronics when I was younger, I presume it is low-temperature, but I dunno if that defines it. And what is the flux for? I'm genuinely dumb about this stuff.
