All depends if you are right handed or left handed.
back hand welding is when you pull the welding rod or whatever it is that you are using and forehand is when you push it ahead
Vertical up welding is preferred in most instances as better penetration is achieved and the slag does not run down into the arc. Down hand welding is mostly used on thin material so as not to burn thru the metal. Travel speed is usually increased also.
MY question is (WHAT IS DOWNHILL WELDING) The correct term is Down Hand Welding. Most welds in the vertical position are made from bottom to top. Down Hand means welding from the top to bottom. These welds are usually made on thin metal as the heat input is lower, thereby reducing penetration/burn thru.
In Pressure Welding the parts(work pieces) to be joined are heated only up to the plastic state and then fusedtogether by applying the external pressure.the two different types of pressure welding are:forge welding and resistance welding

Use a chainsaw or welding torch.

Often because with DC, it is possible to change the direction of the weld current for the task at hand.
A welding chipping hammer is a hand held tool, like yourself. It is used for removing slag after the SMAW or flux core process.

Good eyesight (can be corrected w/prescription glasses), a steady hand, excellent eye - hand coordination.
Welding school can last up to a year. It will depend on how fast the student learns.
If you are referring to the small unusable piece of welding rod that is left after welding, most call it a electrode stub.
