where can i get information?
(OP)
hello, i am new here as you can probably tell because i have no idea how this thing works yet. i prob wont even be able to find my post again, but i have a question. i am 15 and just got my welding certification for stick welding (flat) today. and now that i am considered a certified welder i am going to need to know my field, where did you guys learn so much about welding? books? the internet? there are some books down in my shop (i go to a vocational school) should i borrow a few of those books or am i wasting my time reading those and should be looking somewhere else? i am interested in smaw/gtaw/gmaw if you can help me it would be greatly appreciated.

RE: where can i get information?
The cheapest and best books on welding are from the lincoln foundation http://www.lincolnelectric.com/ ‘The welding procedure handbook’ and ‘Metals and how to weld them’ are highly recommended.
If you want more academic information try http://www.twi.co.uk/ You have to register but its free and available to all.
There is also lots of information available on my site http://www.gowelding.com/ plus links to many other sites.
Have fun
RE: where can i get information?
Where are you located ? Is there any e.g. public or university library close to you ? Can you access them ?
Do not hesitate to ask questions -- the only stupid question is what you DON't ask.
Good luck !
