4.0 out of 5 stars Arc Welding, by John R. Walker, April 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Arc Welding Write-In Text (Paperback)

A good basic text and then some. Whether you are a dedicated "student" of welding, or simply find yourself plagued with the genuine need to be more proficient, ARC WELDING, may be your ticket. The author has packed the book with dozens of simple but effective cutaway illustrations that demonstrate the essentials of the subject, including the difference between good welds and unacceptable welds. The author provides minimal text to accompany the visuals but does a decent job of explaining the logic of each subject. This book provides a fundamental understanding of the "why" behind professional practice/craftsmanship in welding as opposed to a "just getting by" approach. Whether advanced or a beginner, ARC WELDING, is informative and thorough--in the same way one would expect a good textbook to be.

Very good book and easy to understand if you just started arc welding or haven't done any in a while you should find it helpful.

This is an excellent book. I am still studying it for information. I am just reviving an old interest as a hobby. Years ago, in high school, I did a welding project. Now, I finally have a place of my own where I can try out some things. The only thing I wish the book had in it is more ideas for projects. It's not that I need ideas so much as the ensuing descriptions and instructions would give even more insight into methods.
