5.0 out of 5 starsIncredible info, for a very reasonable price
Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2022
If you're somebody who wants to learn the proper ways to work with just about anything metal - be it MIG, TIG, arc welding, or basic forge/smithing work, to home-steading DIY - this book offers it ALL and more.

Honestly, I'm amazed it doesn't cost $50+ for how much information they provide, complete with photos, detailed (but easy to understand) explanations, and information on machines/devices.

My husband and I are planning to move relatively soon, to a home better suited for us, and make improvements as we go. This book is invaluable for DIY home repair/improvement (ever had a pipe burst in winter?) And many other projects that may involve nearly any type of metal working that you can think of.

It even has a section on plastics!

I'm not looking to weld professionally - but regardless, having the knowledge, information, and ability to, can be life-saving on your own, or when help may be far away and incredibly costly to have come to you.
Even if you're not all that excited about the welding aspect in and of itself, I'd still very strongly recommend you buy this book for the information if you want to REALLY do DIY, home-steading, fabrication, etc and most importantly, do it *right*.

Information like this is incredibly valuable, and I'm glad I bought it, both for myself, and my husband.

The "search" function is disabled. If, after your "first read-through" you want to review the "Short Circuit" mode of MIG-welding you cannot use the Search "magnifying glass" to reach that point in the text. This is a content-full book...and you WILL need/want to review aspects. Why anyone would wish to disable the Search Function, I cannot imagine.

5.0 out of 5 stars As Helpful As Can Be

Since there really isn’t a way of reading yourself into the techniques and performing welds—a good reference & guide is only as good as you make use of it, helping you while you practice hands-on welding. It does a tremendous job at teaching in-depth on the technical aspects such as the proper rods, abrasives, gas & anything that can be funneled down to strict information needed.

I did read through it and coupled with a YouTube swath of Essential Craftsman, AvE & Weld.com — this gave me a great intro and laid the groundwork that I need. I’m a wood carpenter and won’t be doing this for a profession. Anyhow I’ve found im going to use this book most as a reference I’ll turn to when I’m doing any welding projects. It’ll help me make decisions, straighten out some technique along the way & etc. Great resource!
