JFLF Overview<br />
The James F. <strong>Lincoln</strong> Arc Welding Foundation is a<br />
non-profit, welding education organization founded in<br />
1936 to promote welding as a better method of joining<br />
metals and to promote welding as a career choice. Today<br />
numerous low cost welding educational textbooks,<br />
videos, DVDs, teaching aids and no cost periodicals and<br />
technical papers are available through the Foundation.<br />
In addition, the JFLF awards over $45,000 in cash and<br />
prizes each year to the winners of its welding design project<br />
contests, as well as the state and national SkillsUSA<br />
welding competition winners. See their website,<br />
www.jflf.org for details on specific contest rules,<br />
regulations and application forms.<br />
The Arc Welding Bookshelf<br />
The James F. <strong>Lincoln</strong> Arc Welding Foundation was<br />
created through a deed of trust “to encourage and<br />
stimulate scientific interest in and scientific study,<br />
