Stick welding class, taking one finally

bucktaker · Apr 5, 2014

any one have any good books on welding? I would be interested in buying a book that could provide the instructional material on the basics of welding. I have a lincoln tombstone, ac/dc and a hobart 135 handler I can make the parts stick but it isnt pretty.

Would love to take a class but I have no free time.

+1 on the books from Lincoln.

Also the DVDs from Wall Mountain have the best stick welding photography that I have ever seen.

A close second is the youtube videos from Jody, of:

Books are good but nothing beats having experience right beside you. I've seen a few guys that I could improve their welding skills in about 30 seconds. Books don't have sound or feel and in welding those 2 things can make all the difference in the world.

I have been watching videos online quite a bit. Weldingtipsandtricks.com is a cool site.
