Description: Welder Fitter's Training Guide
                 by John P. Stewart
Fabricating complex weldments is not an easy task. Assembling plates correctly and with precision requires great skill while resolving and troubleshooting problems such as distortion as they arise requires know how and experience. This book will provide both actual and aspiring welder fitters with the skill and experience to jump to the head of the class. 
The Welder Fitter's Training Guide begins with the basic elements of the plate fitting trade. The early lessons, which include practice projects, illustrate the working tools and the numerous conditions in which they can be used. 
Subjects are designed to be progressive so that each step adds to the experience gained from the preceeding lesson. The student's progress is nurtured, along with the actual work projects which are followed with appropriate questions and answers, to make sure that the skills are fully absorbed. 
After learning the marking and aligning techniques at the beginning of the book the student is introduced to fabricating small and simple weldments. Material lists are provided to facilitate the projects. Gradually the fabrications become a little more complicated but because of the numerous illustrations and the simple methods of presentation the lessons are easily learned. 
Most blueprint reading textbooks teach the basis of reading a drawing. The Welder Fitter's Training Guide goes far beyond that by teaching how to work from a drawing, how to begin the job, how to avoid misalignment and weld distortion, and work to close tolerances, how to work with product planners and draftsmen, how to reinforce for maximum control against warpage, how to foresee potential problems before they arise and much more. 
With this book the student can be fitting weldments in just a few weeks.
