If you have already conquered welding metal and metal finishing steel, you're ready to try Getting an A in Aluminum, Welding Aluminum Sheet with Gas and TIG. Aluminum is different than steel. It requires pretty good welding skills and some special techniques. This 26 page booklet follows the same approach as the other two. It provides simple explanations of the technology involved and then leads you step by step through simple exercises to master gas and TIG welding on annealed aluminum body panels. Again, you can grade your own work and get an "A" if you practice.
