This DVD is a short, yet clear and informative, introduction to GMAW welding. I heartily recommend that anyone knew to GMAW welding buy this DVD. However, do not buy it expecting to actually learn how to weld.

This DVD really only delves into the background of the process and how the equipment works. I was a bit disappointed to find that it didn't cover anything more than that, such as what a good weld looks like, what a bad weld looks like, technigues for avoiding errors, and so on. Unfortunately, such a DVD doesn't appear to exist anywhere and so trial-and-error appear to be your only instructor unless you're willing to pay to actually go to a welding school (which you should if you're looking to welding as an occupation)

This DVD is a total waste of money.

The DVD is well made, but the information and depth is not what would be expected from a beginers instructional Welding DVD.

It offers nothing that you can not get for more and for free off the internet.

In fact, the information on the web and youtube are superior to this DVD.

Here is my tip for you:

If you have not bought an auto darkening helmet yet, use the money you save from this DVD and buy the helmet by adding another $25.

The Helmet will last longer and it will surely improve your welding.

Something this DVD will not do.

I'm totally new to welding so this film was helpful for me to watch. The format is pretty simple with the instructor going through the safety of the tool and through different types of welding techniques.

Straight-forward.

An excellent video for those of us trying to learn MIG welding. A bit pricey at $30, though.
