The Farm Welding Handbook covers all the basics of what you need to know about welding on the farm.

Chapters include setting up a home shop specifically for farm welding needs, welding safety, and the different welding processes.

The book is largely devoted to oxyacetylene gas and ard welding, which are the methods most often used for heavy-duty repairs and fabrication on the farm, but wire-feed MIG welding is also covered.

Other topics featured include identifying and handling metals; welding in vertical, horizontal, and overhead positions; cutting steel and cast iron; welding cast iron, bronze, aluminum, copper, and brass; and more.
