Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), also known as stick welding can be really challenging to learn, but if you break it down to focus on the most important variables, you can get the hang of it with some practice. 7018 is my favorite electrode to run, not only because of the mechanical properties, but also because the weld puddle is easy to recognize and the finished weld has a nice look to it.
