Description:

This hands-on guide gives beginning welders everything they need to know to work safely and productively. Its easy-to-understand format clearly shows how to: set up an oxacetylene welding outfit; use new processes, fuels, equipment, techniques; set up your own workshop; work safely. For practice, Geary includes welding projects for beginners. The thorough coverage of the CraftMaster book makes it an excellent bench reference for experienced welders, too.
