We're back!

We took a pause for a few months to focus our efforts on reestablishing our online presence, but rest assured that ARC Magazine is alive and well!

Our new issue looks at some of the shining lights in the up-and-coming generation of welders and fabricators. One of these is 21-year-old Colorado-based iron worker Sarah Matthews, who brings a level of energy, perseverance and optimism to the trade that’s reflected in her ever-expanding social media presence. Rebuilding Generations, meanwhile, is an Idaho-based non-profit organization that helps young kids and adolescents – anywhere from seven to seventeen – get a sense of direction and focus by developing skills related to automotive restoration.

There's more, including technical tips from welding educator Mark Prosser, a step-by-step project build from high-profile designer/maker Jimmy Diresta, and a tip of the helmet to Jessi Combs (1980-2019), the custom builder, professional racer and television personality who appeared on our very first cover in 2015.
