I just got through writing a review of Finch's welding manual and I still don't have anything great to say about the Haynes Manual.<p>The Haynes manual is probably better than the Finch book.

Shows defective welds etc.<p>Again, I'd recommend going to one of the welder manufacturer sites like Hobart, Miller or Lincoln and buying a learning set on the process you want to master.

Also included is the basic requirements of the shop reguarding electrical and price range as well as some basic metal composition and practical application of metals to projects. I think the author should have gone into more detail of the how to aspects. Over veiw is great however and I definetly recomend it for a beginner ready to buy a home or farm welder.

Buy all you can aford. It is always good to have several books on hand on the same subject. In other words you may not understand one, but you may understand another.Its like having several teachers you can talk to on the same subject.
