Welding Fabrication and Repair: Questions & Answers (Volume 1)

I am an amateur welder who takes his welding seriously.Two books that welder should have are:The Procedure Handbook For Welding /Lincoln publicationsNew Lessons In Arc Welding/Lincoln publicationsBoth are available from Lincoln for absurdly low cost.This book is a sort of complement to The Procedure Handbook. It covers a lot of the same subjects but with a very practical bent. It has tips on jigging and fixtures, how to design welds for common applications so that they minimize stress, how to design welds so that you can actually reach the joints when you construct them. Particularly interesting to me was a detailed section on bending or straightening steel by strategic heating and cooling. It also has useful guides on brazing and on soldering copper pipes. Though I am comfortable with both these procedures, I learned quite a bit from Marlowe's book.It's easy to read, the diagrams are clear. Just a few minutes browsing will reward you with something useful you didnt know.Perhaps if you are a pipeline welder or have been working in fabrication for 20 years, this book wont teach you much. But for the rest of us, it's a goldmine.

If you've been welding and DIYing metal projects for a while, this book answers a lot of questions you probably have about the best way to connect two pieces of metal for the best strength, and to prevent premature failure down the road. It has A LOT of great information, pictures, and diagrams from the Lincoln Welding Foundation books, but it's presented in a much more readable fashion. Yes, it's presented in a Q&A format, which might seem annoying to some, but I have those Q's so it works for me. I highly recommend the book. It's like having an old-timer by your side to give you those little secrets that take years to figure out on your own.

Incredible book! It has EVERYTHING on welding and fabrication no basics. Automotive body repair to thin to thick metal, pipes and angles. It's written in a question answer format. Very well written and covers everything. It is a fabrication welders bible!

Informative and educational

A good book for shop workers, bricoleurs and also students. Practical techniques are very well illustrated also with simple drawings. Every steelworker can find interesting suggestion in the book.

One of my favorite welding books ever. Informative without talking to you like a professional, or a moron

Easy reading, covers a lot of subjects regarding welding. Product delivered on time and was as advertised.

Very Useful Book and detailed book for students or anybody learning the welding or fabrication process while enrolled in college classes

A very worthwhile book even if you think you know all there is to know and if you do know it all its a good reference to look up the things you cant just recall the exact detail of as I doubt the author wrote it all off the top of his head

Exactly as described
