I'm looking to learn how to TIG without going to school. So please don't tell me to go to school as I am already a college student in the Biology field. hehe. Just looking to get a good book to read up and learn. Thanks. Actually, some interative CD with short videos are cool too.

 

Read down.

I paid for the book. It's nice to have something that you can grasp when you're out in the garage with a monster syncrowave 350.

 

cool. ill pick one of those up or just go to a book store, sit for awhile, and read it. haha.

 

I also have the GTAW Welding Manual, the blue book with the tiggy torch on the front. That's good for equipment, materials, set-up, etc., but it doesn't cover much on the actual techniques.

Thanks for the recommendations. I was actually looking at that GTAW manual on ebay. But i'll pass on it. I want to learn more about techniques and such.

I wouldn't pass on it. The more you know about your materials and tool choices, the easier (by orders of magnitude) it will be to apply the techniques.

If you don't want to pay for it, just go to the Miller site, they have it in Adobe format for free.

 

Yeah, I've checked that out. Thanks for the advice. I'll pick up a matierials book too!

 

I always liked the book called "Performance Welding"... has a lot of neat info in it, and covers a lot of diferences and processes with all types of welding. It doesn't go into TOO much detail, but it shows a lot. Worth the $13 bux imo
