 weak at best February 26, 2008
Tim Shideler (Gilbert, AZ)
I think the book spends a lot of time telling what the author has accomplished as a welder, and little time talking about how to weld. Spare me the self-promotion and fill those pages with real information
 A must have December 31, 2007
Tom A. Mcclendon (New Mexico)
For beginners or if you just need a review, the info in this book is invaluable.
 Dont buy this book ! December 27, 2007
Graham Tate (Thailand)
The author spends to much time telling you how he's so good he welds nuclear reactors & aircraft.
But, his information on TIG welding is plain wrong.
Dont buy this book, go to the Miller Welding web site to find Accurate FREE info.

Mr. Siegfried P. Kull (Australia)
An easy to understand book on welding. Well laid out, and written in plain English
Ideal for the beginner, or as a refresher for the experienced welder.
Cheap enough to buy one for a friend too
Awesome book for intro to welding/cutting February 3, 2007

This book is great resource for learning about different techniques for welding and cutting. It focuses on the equipment, safety, and skills and is written in a first person voice that makes the subject very approachable.
Rather than treating the subject as clinically as other welding books do, the author speaks from his own experience, and has plenty of notes about the details that characterize improving skill. The author provides anecdotes about disasters, but also reassures the reader that success is possible as long as they pay attention to what they're doing.
I came across this book in a bookstore along with a few other welding books. This one was by far the best as an introduction. It also provided enough knowledge quickly to be able to make informed decisions about what techniques and equipment would be appropriate for the task that got you interested in welding. Overall, this book is like having a shop teacher with you. The other welding books were like surface level surveys of the subject - sparse and full of disclaimers voiding themselves of responsibility if you blow up your garage.
