Hi Guys.

I have decided to spend some of this summer finally compiling a welding
book.

I am curious what you guys would want in a book.
I am looking for a balance of technical info to step by step
descriptions.

Hi Ernie,
I've read most of the replies to your question and have narrowed it down to
two choices.

1. Write the welding bible, about 100 years of welding information at your
fingertips, every process new and old. You will need a team of researchers
and a huge budget.

2. Write a book that "could" replace the instructor in an 80 hour course.
Some theory but mostly practical. Start with safety and cover the basics of
O/A, SMAW, MIG and TIG. Most new weldors need to know how and why. This
might be easier done with video.

Just my 2 Canadian cents worth.
