Abstract: A concrete wall frame assembly and a method of manufacturing same is disclosed. The assembly includes two generally parallel metal plates and at least one rod extending between a first end and a second end. A first end of the rod is passed through a hole in the second plate toward the first plate until the first end engages a continuous inner surface of the first plate. The second end of the rod protrudes through the hole and extends past an outer surface of the second plate. A stud welder is connected to the either the second, protruding end of the rod, or connected to the rod between the two metal plates to stud weld the first rod end to the inner surface of the first plate. The second end of the rod is then arc welded to the second metal plate at the outer surface.
