Post subject: | Any good books on TIG welding |
I have not TIG welded in over 37 years and just bought a Inverter/TIG welder. A good book that I can read on the aircraft would be great, any suggestions? |

More proof, even the most Advanced Engineer can learn from a Gear Head |

Maybe someday I can import a "display" copy of this toy and "repair" it... TIG welding is a art! My MIG already make me feel like a child in a candy store! Mastering this welding techique with just one eye is already a big challenge since I got no deep perception. (No 3D TV for me ) Here my list of "I need them ASAP" tools... 1- Welding table (Home made or deal http://www.soluquip.com/Images/table_steel_4x8_2_ref2021.jpg) 2- Hydraulic 20 tonnes press (home made or a deal http://www.soluquip.com/Images/press_shop_electric_Custom_2_2292.jpg) 3- Pneumatic roofing hammer 4- Plasma cutter 5- TIG welder 6- All the fracking tools I can stock in my old 600 Sq/Ft garage! |

More proof, even the most Advanced Engineer can learn from a Gear Head I have 2 books by Richard Finch, Welders Handbook and Performance Welding, both are good, he goes int how he had a contract to weld certified aircraft seats, he was tig welding them, and couldn't keep up with demand so he had his welders certified in mig and his production increased 400%. |

Found this during a browse. I know this is an old thread - agree with the quality of Covell's DVD's but if you want to progress/refresh its worth having a look at www.weldingtipsandtricks.com. and the Weldmonger store. I'm sure Jodie won't mind the plug for his site / the associated forum and Jodies' TIG fingers. |
