The art of blacksmithing was developed during the middle ages.  Many tools
have been found which were made approximately 1000 B.C.

Acetylene was discovered in 1836 in England.

A patent was granted for arc welding in England in 1885 and the U S in 1887.

Go to www.welding.com/edu_weld2.shtml  or go to www.google.com and type in
history of welding.
