Automotive Welding: A Practical Guide
This book is a great intro to automotive welding. It wasn’t as useful for me personally because I was looking for a heavy emphasis on learning mig welding skills which it does cover but I wanted more. The book has lots of useful tips and info for the welding newbie and I can Only say that I wish I had had this book years ago. Worth the money.
Rating: 5 / 5
This is the best book ive ever read I mean ive read a lot of welding books but this is the best one yet.I have learned so much welding and my welds are a heck of a lot better now.When I first started my auto body class they wouldnt let me weld anything.So I got that book and learned alot from it.My teacher couldnt believe how much I learned from it,now he,s letting me weld everything that comes into our welding and bodyshop.If you were to raight this from 1 to 100 it would eaisiley be a 110.

Automotive Welding: A Practical Guide is a ‘must’ for any library strong on shop or automotive repair. It covers all the basics for amateurs using inexpensive or rented tools and little experience, offering common auto metalwork projects form repairing a cracked manifold to fabricating a roll bar. While the projects relate to real-world experience, their sum allows for an actual complete ‘course’ in all the different auto welding options, making this a top recommendation for all kinds of libraries.

This a great hands on book by my good friend Jeff – who I know through auto-racing.
Buy this book if you are looking for the “goto” book to have in your shop and get your projects finished the right way.

I’m very confident when it comes to soldering and brazing, but when it comes to welding I tend to make lumpy, spotty seams. Jeff’s book really helped me understand some of the things I’ve been doing wrong, and better still pointed me in the right direction. It’s got me thinking that a little practice is all that separates me from fixing the rusty rocker panel on my ’74 Alfa Romeo Spider. Hmmmm, maybe I could make points with my family by practicing on the rusty barbecue grill on the back deck…
