DESCRIPTION:
Karen Ruth, an accomplished hobby welder, is the author of Welding Basics.
A trip to any yard and garden center will show the current popularity of metal trellises, archways, furniture, and decorative art. Many of these even draw from a standard 120v outlet. This book is aimed at the beginning to intermediate level home welder-anyone who wishes to use welding to repair or create objects around the home. An overview of welding basics, materials, metal forming, and safety will be followed by step-by-step how-to projects with full color photos. Many of these pieces are prohibitively expensive, yet most are fabricated using the most basic of welding and metal forming techniques and inexpensive materials
"Great book despite the other reviews." according to The Toolman. I thought this book was worth reading. Yes, I've read the other reviews that said it was too simplified and for idiots but for someone who has never welded, or like me has not welded since high school, it covers the basics. It gives a good comparison of different technologies (Oxy, SMAW, MIG, TIG and plasma) the pros/cons of each. No, this book will not teach you how to weld like a pro but it is a good starting point if you want to learn about the various technologies or trying to decide what type of welder you want or nee. "Welding Basics" according to Peter Luckett. Excellent book for beginners. Well written and illustrated. Covers all basic modes of welding and brazing. Invaluable for my TAFE NSW (OZ) course.. Amazon Customer said Great buy for 1st timers. This book if filled with the basics of welding on a practical level. Things like: what your need, procedures, how to weld, and projects. The lavish photos and illustrations make welding much easier by comparing your weld with the book. I learned everything I know from this book, and when I welded my first time I failed.but now I'm much better. Practice makes perfect. Overall, a great book for the price!
