 Practical & Fun Ideas August 18, 2008

This book has some fun ideas for crafts and gives me inspiration to try some different projects. I appreciate Roy's beginning the book with different welding techniques and pointing out safety issues first. Welding arts & crafts is fun, but certainly has hazards involved. Roy addresses these issues at the beginning. I personally know D.Roy and have been in his classes. He makes the classes just as enjoyable as this book.
 Not very useful April 16, 2006

I bought this book thinking it would show/describe common techniques for art related projects (some do's and dont's). Or even a bit on brazing (for welding with exotic meatals like copper and brass). Instead, it is just a step by step for several really uninspired projects. And then mostly tack welding. Not much serious welding.It does cover some very basic information on the different welding processes, but you can get that online for free. I would suggest saving up for weekend welding classes at your local community college. At least you will learn proper welding techniques from pros. You can then determine what equipment is best for you for your needs.

I was very dissatisfied with this book. I was expecting a book that explained the idea of and how to do Arts and Crafts by welding. It gave very little information about which welder might be best and then a bunch of old outdated projects. I found this book mostly usless.
It does not hold up to the title April 22, 2005

This book is not even close to be what the title suggests. There are just a few pages devoted to a very basic review of the various methods of welding. The rest of the book is about building projects based on welding techniques that are not explained in the book.
 Not for beginners February 12, 2004

I disagree with the editorial review's claim that no experience is required. While it is good at explaining the pros and cons of various types of welding equipment, it is mostly a craft project book. Setting up an oxy-acetylene torch with was a little intimidating for me,and this book was not helpful for that.
