Welding Tips and Tricks

What is the name of the welding and fabricating book Jody has mentioned a few times in his videos? Seems like it was an older publication but I can't remember the name. He said it was "the only welding book a guy needs" or something like that.

Hows it going Rob??
Metals and how to weld them??
The procedure hand book of arc welding??
I've heard them both, and I've watched all of Jody's videos three (3) times....

Metals and how to weld them.... That's the one, thanks John. I couldn't remember the name and didn't want to go through all the videos again.

While you're there, I thought this book was done well:

Yeah, the shipping is probably why I bought a bunch of books at once. I recall they're even more expensive on Amazon.

Shipping on those sites are most of the time ridiculous at best. Sometimes I wonder for the shipping costs if its cheaper to order new from Chapters. I will take a look for those books thanks for posting them guys.

I wonder how many of these books are available as e-books, that can be bought with zero shipping and downloaded to a PC, laptop, Kindle, etc...

I'm sure there's a market for it, even though welding books don't spend time on the bestseller list...

That would be worth it. Would be $5 to $10 a piece.

As many books as you could possibly want in your lifetime.
I've downloaded and saved thousands of books to my hard drive.

WerkSpace,
Are there many books that welders/fabricators would like, say matals and how to weld them?

Big thumbs up to http://www.bakersgas.com! Their shipping calculator wanted over $30 to ship a $17 book, after a quick email they came up with an $8 shipping option. It is refreshing to have a company work with you for a change!

Rob,
Did you buy the book yet???
If it would help, I would buy one too...
Would that work??
We could split the shipping if they would combine both books???
Let me know....


Thanks,

Ordered it this morning and had a tracking number two hours later.

Just got it for $14.99 shipped within 9 business days to dallas from portland. it's used, so I don't know for sure what kind of shape it's in, but I usually have decent luck with used books.
