There's no way I was coming back to Mexico City and NOT come check out my friend's David Madero Eagle sculpture.

What an amazing peace of art. David this is amazing. Seeing it on video and now seeing it in person its not even close. JUST BEAUTIFUL.

Conversación rápida aquí en FABTECH México 2026 con Ricardo González, un increíble artista del metal y soldador que conocí en el booth de Fronius.

Lo primero que me llamó la atención fue este impresionante escudo inspirado en la cultura azteca, completamente fabricado en acero inoxidable. La cantidad de detalle, creatividad, precisión y paciencia detrás de esta pieza es algo difícil de explicar hasta que lo ves en persona.

Esto es exactamente lo que le recuerda a la gente que la soldadura es mucho más que fabricación y reparación… también es arte, cultura, historia y talento.

TorchTales siempre se ha tratado de las personas detrás de la careta, y Ricardo es un ejemplo perfecto de eso.

A welding school in Brooklyn, New York… who knew?

This time, TorchTales stopped by Welder Underground in Brooklyn, NY, where I had the chance to talk with a couple of their instructors .onfire & .napolitano_ and talk about what Welder Underground is.

What stood out the most was the passion these instructors have for the craft and for passing knowledge down to the next generation behind the hood.

Huge thank you to the crew at Welder Underground for welcoming TorchTales into your shop.

Here’s a quick clip from my conversation with Stacia from EDGE Welding Supply.

This episode is a good reminder that the welding industry is not only about machines, torches, booths, and big brands.

Sometimes it’s about a family-owned company making something very specific, very useful, and very real for welders.

EDGE manufactures quartz and Pyrex glass welding cups for TIG welders, and in this conversation we get into their story, their products, and what it takes to keep building in this industry.

No corporate script. No fake sales pitch. Just a real conversation with real people behind the product.

Full TorchTales Episode #93 drops this Saturday, April 18th on YouTube.
