Welding Tips and Tricks

Just wondering if anybody has any idea where I can get copies of everything related to metal, welding, and metal fab? I'm really green, looking to learn all about alloys, metallurgy, weld specs, processes, etc. I know it sounds cocky and I don't mean it cocky, but I want to be the best and know the most. The way I see it, if I know a lot about metals, tools, etc., it will make me a better welder, so I am trying to learn everything I can. Gonna make me a little Texas library of metalwork, I guess.

I'd suggest you repost this under the "welding certifications, etc" heading to get more results

The "wish list" is more of a "what we'd like Jody to video next" thing, though it's not that clear in the description, I suppose.

Thanks to Mick, I can offer you a 10+ year old copy of ASME section IX on PDF, if you'll PM me your e-mail address.

How do I move it? copy/paste?

Welding information is very availability across the internet.
As each year passes, there is less and less need of the textbooks.
So you will be able to construct yourself a virtual library and carry it with you on a memory stick.

There are many approaches to learning welding technology.
One of them is to start as soon as possible understanding what goes into making a welding procedure.
Reading that one or two pages that make up a procedure gives a big boost in understanding how the welding variables fit together.
Here is one example of a welding procedure format:

Enjoy welding.
