Welding
A very good book on torch welding, easy to understand and well written, I recommend it to anyone wanting the knowledge, well covered in this book.
Welding Instruction
I've been wanting to learn to weld, and all the local classes I can find seem to be geared towards getting certified instead of just teaching a hobbiest/mechanic/fixit person. So, I figured I'd just get a book and teach myself. This book seems to have all the basics I'll need to get started.
All in one guide
This book i just great for oxyacetyle newcomer like me. I got really good step by step indrodution. There are a lot of helpfull tips to get jobs done. I like this book because its clearly made an its what i need to build up my skills.
Excellent beginner's text (at least) on welding.
I bought this book on the strength of previous reviews and absolutely no experience at welding, brazing, silver-soldering, silver-brazing, sweat-soldering, or any other metal-joining skill beyond electronics soldering. It was a good choice. The author covers his subject thoroughly, clearly knows much more than he can pack into this book, and is able to present it all in an understandable fashion. There may be other books aimed at welding specialties that cover them in greater depth than this book does; this can tell you enough to let you decide whether you need more info or not. There is enough here to enable a neophyte to select, intelligently, the equipment required to accomplish whatever project he is considering. The rest is practice. The only thing lacking in the text is minor: a single color section demonstrating the differences in flames for different purposes. That information is carried by black-and-white line drawings in this book. They may be enough; I would feel a bit better-informed with a color photo (or illustration, for that matter).

For the novice only, Broad coverage of oxyaectylene welding and cutting, soldering and general information pertaining to various metals. Only a brief mention of arc welding though. 5 star rating only for those not interested in arc welding !!!
