Welder's Hdbk Hp573

I love this book. It covers everything regarding welding. Mr Finch is very informative. This is not a book for people that are looking for depth in any specific type of welding, but makes a great effort to provide as much information as possible about all aspects of welding. I would not recomend this book, for someone that has been welding, and is looking for greater information is a specific field. I would readily recomend this book to the first timer, or to someone who wants to get back into welding as a hobby, farm, home repair.

I have only welded once before with no instruction. It seems extremely difficult. Now after reading this book I understand why it is difficult and I know a lot more. My goal of purchase and reading the book were completed yesterday, and now I have to ask my wife if I can buy another power tool and some steel to play with. I can't promise her, but I think I will have fun and maybe burn myself. This book seems adequate for a real welder also. I liked the format and level of explanation.

I had a previous edition of this book from the library and decided this was one I wanted on my shelf. I was worried by the fact that "Plasma Cutting" was up front and center in the new title, but relieved that hasn't taken over the book. In fact, despite the new title, this is the same old book (which is a good thing) with revisions.

As a recent newcomer to welding, I have discovered this book has taught me a lot of valuable information about the various techniques of the art of welding. The information supplied is well thought out and, combined with useful charts, facts and figures, this book is good enough for the would-be professional and home welder (or weldor!). Read the book to understand.

The only book I have found that covers home and indutrial welding all in one, with this book you can get a head start on welding that it normally takes years to learn. This book is also very helpfull to people who have many years experience and has lots of info matchng rare types of metals to the appropriate welding machine an welding techniques
