Reply:I just picked up this book: "Welding. A journey to explore its past," by Andre Odermatt.  It's a great easy book that takes the reader back in time from the early days of  melting two pieces of metal with heat, brazing, early gas fuels to early and modern electric "arc" welding.  Gives a great time line too.  I found it fascinating and the pics of old school welding equipment is great.   You can get it from Hobart.  http://www.welding.org/c-22-general-welding-books.aspxLincoln Power Mig 216Lincoln AC/DC-225/125Miller  625 X-Treme PlasmaMiller 211 Forney 95FI-A 301HF 91110Victor Journeyman O/PMilwaukee DaytonMakita  Baileigh NRA Life Member
