José Manuel Muñoz, known as Metal Mundo, is a Spanish welder from Villena (Alicante). In recent years he has become one of the most prominent YouTubers in Spain in the field of welding. He began his journey on YouTube with the intention of dignifying his profession, showing welding as an exciting job. His first videos shared welding tricks and techniques without showing his face out of shyness, but over time he was encouraged to go in front of the camera, strengthening the connection with the audience. As the channel grew, he expanded the content to different metals and renamed the project Metal Mundo, after which the audience skyrocketed.
Today, METAL MUNDO Maker has over 1.5 million followers across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. His tutorials, tips, and metalworking projects are presented in an engaging, approachable style that encourages even novices to try welding. This authentic, down-to-earth approach has led many to see him as a trusted friend and mentor. Despite his online fame, he hasn’t abandoned his profession: he continues to work as a professional welder and to lead his company Arqdeco, as welding remains his great passion.
After surpassing one million followers, a company even announced the design of a welding machine bearing the “Metal Mundo Maker” name in his honour.
