GMAW (MIG) Welding 1 Video
- This is the video that should have come with your MIG welder but didn't. It covers the different welding processes with close up video of the actual weld puddle as well as animated graphics. Learn what to watch for in the weld puddle and how to make better welds by changing wire speed, voltage, feed angle and travel speed.

Welder's Handbook: A Complete Guide to Mig, Tig, Arc & Oxyacetylene Welding
- This book has much more than what the name implies. It covers stress, warpage, brazing, soldering, jigs, tig, arc, mig, you name it...it has it! If I had this book way back when, I wouldn't have had to learn about stress and warpage the hard way. It explains everything necessary to weld metal and brings to light some of the things that beginners may never consider. If you own this book and Ron Fourier's Metal Fabrication Handbook you will be one step ahead in the world of metal fabrication. Another Dune-Buggy.com Winner! Highly Recommended!!!

Homemade MIG Welder
- Some years ago I got a trashed battery charger, a big one which delivers 6, 12 or 24 volt and capable of charging and starting automobiles.
The chassis was damaged and irrepairable but inside it was OK.
I has been thinking of using it for something useful, and the only thing I could imagine was either to rebuild it as a battery charger, an adjustable power supply (6-24 volt/100amp...!) or as a welder...

Engineer to Win by Carroll Smith
- This book is for the serious fabricator. Learn about the properties of metals and how to properly design parts so that you do not become a victim of metal fatigue and stress cracks. That's enough to justify the book but there's also information about proper plumbing, braking, steering, suspension, fasteners, and more.

Welding Secrets by Hal Wilson
- This is a short booklet that's packed with useful information. Ever wonder why the same place always cracks? This book explains where to weld and where NOT to weld. Learn how to temper a chisel. Learn about the 'notch effect.' Learn how to properly butt weld tubing and how the direction of travel and back stepping affects metal warpage.
Yes, it's a short booklet...yes it is relatively expensive...and yes I think it is worth having because it provides information that's hard to find anywhere else.
