Welding made effortless! With simple techniques targeted to a wide and general audience, this guide eliminates the intimidation from an all-too-often technical craft. Rather than creating a manual workbook with elaborate, complicated drawings and instructions, Kimberli Matin takes readers on a journey of creative discovery. With purchased steel rod and bar or found metal parts from a salvage yard, plus basic, easy-to-use tools, she shows how to construct 25 whimsically attractive items. From a garden chair fashioned from an old tractor seat and odd parts to a stunning tri-fold screen and a delicate, filigreed plant stand, these great projects will make welders out of everyone! - Finally, a book that really takes the intimidation out of welding with accessible tools, techniques and projects for a mass audience - Most projects use a MIG welder, a readily available tool that can be purchased for $400$600, and which is nearly as easy to use as a glue gun - There are items for every level, and they're all both beautiful and practical, from basic bookends and mirrors to a wine rack, pet bed, and chandelier
