 Excellent resource for basic welding processes understanding December 12, 2008
Lothar J. Straub (Stoughton, WI)
Purchased this book to prepare for my CWI certification. This is an excellent resource to understand the basic welding processes, advantage, disadvantages of each, along with safety discussions
I would highly recommend this book as 'required' reading for anyone just interested in basic welding processes.
Easy Q&A format for info February 18, 2008
PTSideshow (Macomb County Michigan)
Having 10 or so books on welding text book type and the others. Most bog you down with a lot of info that you will never need if you are an artists/hobbyist or even a certified daily working welder. And they all seem to lack the info that comes up from time to time that we all need.
It is in a question and answer format that covers what is the most asked questions on safety, general welding of most types, as the contents page lists. With out all the theory and mumbo jumbo the text books put in.
In its 500 plus pages it has a great glossary with clear to the point definitions. Good clear illustrations. And a simple to understand safety info. Some fun stuff, ok I'm an fact geek for off beat info. Like what do all those numbers mean stamped on the neck are of the tanks etc.
The Second edition does have updated info. Along with a survey of other welding methods. And chapters on subjects of interest to a person doing art/hobbyist or occasional welding. But could prove useful to a daily welder as a handy reference guide.
 A Good Welding\Cutting Overview October 20, 2007
Husk77 (East Haven, CT United States)
This book gives good generalized information on welding principles and practices. Also gives practical general welding repair methods. An asset to any bookcase.
A good textbook May 14, 2007

A good "text book" stye publication covering a very wide range of welding and cutting methods, but not an ideal book for persons looking for an "introduction to welding" manual. I would have liked to see the author add some basic projects, leading the reader thru all the steps with some good photos of common mistakes and how to avoid them. Still a very worthwhile reference manual to have...
GREAT! January 15, 2007
