4.0 out of 5 stars
A good project book for a high school welding class,
By A Customer
This review is from: Welding Projects (Paperback)
Mr. Ruck is a metals and welding instructor in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin. His book contains 69 well-drawn plans for welding projects for sports equipment, gym equipment, shop equipment, auto shop accessories, home items, and yard equipment. The projects grew out of needs his students have for life in a rural area of Wisconsin. They reflect the interests of high school boys in that setting (snow shoes, an ice boat, a deer hunter's tree stand, engine hoist and an engine stand, weight lifting and exercise benches, lawn and shop carts). There is very little written text. The information on the drawings is very complete, including a materials list for each. (96 pages)

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Source of DIY Inspiration,
By Mark Lochala (Mississippi) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Welding Projects (Paperback)
Been looking at purchasing a new weight bench? Been pricing a hydraulic bearing press lately? Had your eye on a pair of those stilts used by carpenters to install drywall? Well, hold on to your pocketbook because this is the book for you. That is, if you have basic welding skills and access to a good welding machine."Welding Projects" is mostly a collection of diagrams and information for many different projects that the average welder-equipped handyman can build at home. The projects are grouped under such chapters as Sports Equipment, Gym Equipment, Shop Equipment, Auto Equipment, Home Equipment and Yard Equipment. A sampling of the included projects include a snowmobile dolly, two different ice boat designs, a frame-mounted receiver hitch for your truck, an engine stand, a lawn cart, a pumping-style windmill, a computer table, a baker's rack and even - get this! - a climbing deerstand. In all, there are nearly 70 different projects for the welder, and products that can be used by man, woman, and child. What "Welding Projects" is not is a step-by-step manual for assembly, though its diagrams and information are relatively easy to understand. What it does contain are measurements, relevant diagrams, materials and some very handy reference data at the beginning of the book. All in all, I highly recommend this book. After thumbing through it, you will find yourself longing to build things you don't even need just because you can.

A book of plans...,
By Visor Blue (Arizona) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Welding Projects (Paperback)
That's all this is, a 96 page book of plans for assorted things: sports, gym, shop, auto, home and yard equipment. 100% line drawings in a blueprint type format. No photos (except for the front cover), no instruction on how to make the stuff, nothing on how the bend pieces were bent -- a few bending jigs would have been nice. Not worth the time or money.
If you're looking for welding projects with some instruction and photos try "Artisan Welding Projects"by Karen Ruth. The back of "Welding Basics" has some projects as well. This book is being returned less than a 1/2 hour after getting it.
