"The welding book I've been looking for" according to J. Brown. I am new to welding and have consulted a number of instructional books, and "How to Weld" is, by far, the best of the consumer books I've found. The organization, descriptions, illustrations, and photos are great. Where other books skimp on details, the author provides clear, concise, detailed information. Most of the books I've read have surprisingly little specific information when it gets to actually laying down welds: so much text is usually spent with the (important) preamble of safety and description of the mechanics of getting ready to weld, that only a few pages are actually devote. Kevin D. Gebert said Superb reading material. This book has it all with clear photos and illustrations for several methods of welding. I've got a few other books but this one I would put at the top. The author is very clear in what he's trying to convey to the reader on the correct ways to weld. He shows examples of poor welds to help you identify what you are doing wrong and how to correct your work. There's great exercises to help build your technique. I'm primarily interested in Wire feed welding now and its been "Superb reading material" according to Kevin D. Gebert.

I'm primarily interested in Wire feed welding now and its been 20yrs since I've last welded at all with a stick and this book helps out tremendously. It is a great read for experience. 0yrs since I've last welded at all with a stick and this book helps out tremendously. It is a great read for experience. "Good book on welding" according to Jor El. I haven't welded since I was in high school. I recently decided to get back into it and bought a MIG welder. This book is pretty good. It gives good instructions on different welding processes. It covers quite a bit but doesn't specialize on a single one. I like how it gives you exercises to do to get your technique down. It has a fairly large chapter on safety which is very important when welding. I'd recommend this book for anyone getting into welding or brushing up on it.
