Because rookie and veteran welders all need a refresher every once in the while, we’ve decided to introduce the Welding Reading List. Each list will feature at least three welding books that are highly recommended by various welders. We’ll cover welding art, welding basics, welding mathematics, and more in each list. If you have any suggestions or criticisms of the books on the list, leave a comment below. We’d love to hear your opinion.
