weldingshould

weldingshould is a term that has emerged in online discussions, particularly within maker communities and forums related to fabrication and metalworking. It is not a formal technical term but rather a colloquialism used to express a strong recommendation or an expectation that a particular joint or connection should be welded. This often arises when a design or a proposed solution involves metal components that are perceived by the community as being best or most appropriately joined through welding, rather than other fastening methods like bolting, riveting, or adhesives.

The use of "weldingshould" often implies a judgment about the structural integrity, durability, or aesthetic outcome of a proposed assembly. For example, someone might suggest that a frame "weldingshould" be welded if they believe it will experience significant stress or requires a rigid, monolithic structure. Conversely, it might be used in situations where alternative joining methods are seen as less robust or potentially prone to failure. The term reflects a community consensus or a prevailing best practice within certain practical crafting and engineering circles, highlighting a preference for welding in specific applications.
