Recommend a book on MIG welding
Can anyone recommend any books on MIG welding?
I know the practice, practice, practice mantra, but I'd like to read some more about it as well.
Thanks,
Nick

I'm sure there are books, but I found the https://www.mig-welding.co.uk/ site perfect. Suit some tablet holiday/toilet/evening reading, rather
than a hard copy.

Yep, mig welding forum is as good as this site, advantage over a book is you can ask questions get discussions going and post pics to get feedback and
advice.

Thanks chaps - aware of and a member of that one.
As you say plenty to read on there and the chance to discuss as well.
I guess what I'm after is something to read off-line really.

Hmm tbh welding like spray painting can't really be learnt from a book just takes practice. I'd recommend just watching some YouTube vids
and then having a go.

I did a couple of one-day courses at the local agricultural college (Ottley) - made a huge difference having a professional welder looking over my
shoulder.

Useful to know, I might investigate what options are available local to me.
ETA - a college local to my work runs evening courses (1 night a week over 8 weeks) in welding covering MIG and TIG. Fees look reasonable and
it's practical for me to get to and from. Some further thinking for the weekend!
