If you are a hobby welder, or only have to weld stuff occasionally, this is for you.

Amazing book that is full of clear, color photographs and explanations. Been a hobby welder for a long time and this is hands down the best book I have ever seen. The spiral binding is a big deal, as the book won't flop closed on the work bench.

Excellent pour les débutants qui lisent l'anglais

Étant débutant en soudage MMA, je n'avais pas réussi à trouver de conseils un peu élaborés dans les livres et les vidéos de langue française. Ce livre contient une section dédiée au MMA, avec des photos très précises et des conseils judicieux dans de longs paragraphes. Impossible de trouver mieux, même si il date déjà un peu.

I like all the welding subjects covered in this book, if you are a home or hobby welding. This will get you started on safety, cutting, abrasives, project builds, mig, tig, arc, solder, oxy. It has some good project ideas.
