Welding Guidelines (with aircraft supplement)
by William Kielhorn
183 Pages               $18.95

An excellent step by step guide through the fundamentals of welding. Excellent for the beginner wanting to learn various welding processes, the types of equipment, and the basic techniques of jigging, joint making, and materials joining. Specific exercises are outlined to offer practice sessions in each technique. Finally, a chapter specific to steel tube airframe repair and construction follows in the end. Of the two welding books offered we favor this one for the beginner wanting to familiarize himself (or herself) with the art, and then the other "Aircraft Welding Techniques" for the more experienced craftsman wanting to focus more on the specific techniques of aircraft type work.
