 If you are serious about welding Apr 25, 2010
By J. MOLDOVAN
As far as I can find, this is currently the primary reference book about welding. A beginner or do-it-yourself welder (like yours truly) needs little else to get started. It is lavishly illustrated and referenced and has all of the information one needs to understand what welding is about and how to make great welds. Although this field enjoys rapid progress and significant technological development on an almost daily basis, the book has mostly up to date information as of 2010.
I have good quality AC/DC/Pulse MMA, MIG and TIG equipment and have used it very successfully over the last couple of years, even though I have only a minimum of formal training (2 semesters of 2 hours a week in a metalwork shop to make us into "real" engineers! Three decades ago!). I can testify to the value of this book in making full use of this fairly complex equipment, which requires significant investment of time and money. It presents not just dry technical data but also the experience and insight of a master welder in easily digestible form as well as the many tricks and tips needed to master a difficult manual art. I cannot comment on how useful it would be in a classroom setting but I found the questions and exercises to be quite handy for setting up the equipment and testing myself in the basic skills needed.
The book is also very enjoyable and for those who are interested in this field it can provide hours and hours of entertainment. The writing is clear and precise and the layout and graphics are gorgeous. There are reams and reams of historical and anecdotal information and I would have no hesitation in placing this in a "waiting room" or "coffee table book" situation as a general good read.
The one quibble I have is that the book is very USA-centric, as of course it has to be give the background of the author and the intended audience. It does however provide full metric conversions for all important values and most tables have metric columns as well as the imperial units the author is obviously used to. So this quibble should not stop potential readers from acquiring this valuable, interesting and useful book especially as at the moment one cannot find anything even approaching it in depth and quality from SI Unit countries.

Best yet Feb 12, 2009
By Michael R. Camp
Just learning to weld, and have tried several books. This is the best by far. The material is covered in depth, the illustrations/pictures are clear. Great for learning on your own.

Reference Book I will use for a long time to Come! Apr 15, 2010
By Jesse Atencio
"alaskagoldman"
This particular book is the text in the welding courses I have been taking this year. I wanted my own copy since the school does not let the books leave the classroom. I was impressed with the book already and wanted one of my own and found it here in the used section. Got the book for about half the price of a new one and the one I got looks like it was never opened. I have learned a lot from this book and will keep it as a reference as I progress to my welding projects. I highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to learn about welding or already knows how to weld but needs a reference book. We can't all keep the entire contents of this book in our heads. When memory fails, it's in this book. About the only thing that isn't covered in here is underwater welding procedures.

A+++++++ Feb 08, 2010
By fuzzyfeetmom
Ordered a Welding book for my son, we recieved it in record time! and although it was used looked absolutely brand new. Cost, cheaper than we could find it anywhere else.First time we'd ever ordered like this before, and this will be the first place we come back to when looking for books that he or we may need or want. Will be reccomending this site to many. Thank You.
