September 8, 2023December 16, 2021 by waylander_fiona

In just a few more days we are celebrating Christmas, the biggest holiday in the world! And in just a few weeks, we welcome the year 2022! Indeed, time flies really fast. During the holidays, everyone gets busy preparing for get-togethers. But there’s one particular task that everyone finds really challenging and that’s choosing a gift for friends or family. Well, we know the struggle so we want to help out. Here we give you a list of what to buy a welder for Christmas 2021.

Christmas Gifts for Welders

Welding/Craft Specific Gift Cards

A lot of welders are very specific or picky with their tools and equipment. And while you mean well, you want to get them something that they will definitely use. So, instead of getting them that specific tool, get them a gift card to a welding/craft store. That way, they get to choose what they like.

A personalized fun welder T-shirt or Welding Mug (or both)

The good thing about giving a welder a fun personalized T-shirt or mug is that you get to choose what to print on it. Just be sure you know your welder friend or family member that much for him or her to really like it and actually wear it or use it. Make it fun and creative!

Magnetic Wristband

Here’s something that’s easily one of the best things you can give the welder in your life. You know how screws, nails, and drill bits fall or get lost easily? Well, get them a magnetic wristband! Magnets are embedded into a lightweight mesh that they can wear on their wrist. A super-strong wristband tool holder!

Welding Tool Bag

A super useful gift would be a welding tool bag that can also hold a helmet. Hammers, pliers, vice grips, combination square and tungsten, gloves, cap, respirator, and even other valuable things like car jets, flint striker, scribe, safety glasses, soapstone, or a pocket ruler. Moving his tools will not be a hassle with this welding tool bag.

Welder Wall Art

Next on the list is welder wall art for their workshops or offices. It’s not exactly something they would use but it’s something they’d appreciate and see every day. The challenge here is to know what kind of wall art your welder friend or family member would like. You can either go for historical conversational pieces related to welding or a landscape photo that you know they’d appreciate. That or just funny wall art pieces that would just remind them of how awesome they are!

Welder Stickers

Welder stickers! What a great idea! Get some badass welder stickers they could put on their helmet, lunch box, toolbox, thermos – anywhere! The greatest thing about this is it won’t cost you too much.

Personalized Survival Knife

Make sure they don’t have one yet. Aside from it being a super useful tool, it’s also a man’s or even a woman welder’s best tool.

A High-Quality Leather Welding Jacket

Every welder should have a high-quality leather welding jacket that will give maximum protection and will also make them look awesome even while at work! Check out DURIN Leather Welding Jacket. It’s made of split leather hide with flame-resistant cotton fabric made for comfort and safety.

It has a protective neck collar, lined sleeves for freedom of movement, adjustable cuffs with generous pockets! You can even throw in a carbon felt welding blanket made in the USA that they can use for work or even for their smokers!

Waylander Welding Merch

If you’ve purchased any of the Waylander Welding protective clothing, why not add some Waylander Welding merch? It’s the perfect look you can go for while at work or even during days off. Get the Waylander Welding T-Shirt or the Waylander Welding cap.

December 3 is Make a Gift Day. Even if the day has passed, let us, welders, take advantage of the holiday season by actually making something for our dear loved ones most especially now that Christmas is just days away. Here are 5 holiday welding projects you can do and maybe give as gifts to family and friends.

There really is nothing so special when it comes to the history of this day. But there was a time when hand-made gifts are the only sort of gift one could give. And while buying something in the mall is easier, nothing will ever beat giving someone something made with your bare hands.

5 Holiday Welding Projects you can do

1 Rebar Christmas Tree welding project

First on the list is a no brainer. Go ahead and make your family or your friend a sturdy Christmas Tree with branches made out of rebar. This is one tree they are sure to have for many years. Nowadays, anything unique is the way to go.

Any welding process and a metal chop saw can do the trick. Just make sure you tack weld the branches to the metal trunk. Make sure you get a large piece of rebar for the trunk. With that, small rebar branches can easily attach to it.

2 Sheet Metal Reindeer Lawn Ornaments welding project

These antlered beasts will take some planning but it definitely is something very special to make. Designing and cutting take a lot of work as compared to welding them. Make sure you have the sizes right for every piece to make sure you save time in the welding process.

Once you have it all together, put on some paint and a string of light and you’re sure to have that family or friend of yours extra happy on the holidays.

3 Jewelry Holder Tree welding project

Here’s one you can give to the women in your life – your wife, sister, mother! Go for an elegant jewelry holder tree where they can put all those necklaces, rings, and bracelets. You can never go wrong with anything that has to do with helping out the women in your life get organized in style – welding style – that is.

All it takes is for you to weld some small straight pieces of steel together. Form it into a tree and then fuse that into a square piece of steel for it to stand on its own.

4 Copper Display welding projects

To change things up a bit, why not work on something made of copper instead of just rebar? You could use some thin copper pipes and connectors and make a copper display of any style and shape you want. One that would suit the holidays like a mini Christmas Tree, reindeer, a snowflake, or any other object that best represents Christmas – or not.

You could go with just anything that would represent how much you love them like a flower, maybe. Whatever object you decide to shape that copper into, make sure it fits the style of the person you are giving it to. TIG welding would work best for this kind of project.

5 Tealight holders welding project

Last on the list would be some tealight holders. What is Christmas without the warmth you feel at home with all those candles around. Make sure people you care about know how much you love them by giving them so tealight holders they can use on any day and not just on Christmas Day.

Your metal cutting skills will be put to test on this one. Think of a design that best suits the person you are giving it to. Once you have it all together, you can finish with some bronze powder or black finish if you’d like.
