With over 23 years of hands-on welding experience, I've seen countless beginners hit the same wall. They learn how MIG welding works, but they struggle when it's time to build real projects. Measurements don't line up, welds pull out of square, and finished pieces look nothing like what they imagined.
That's exactly why this book exists. MIG Welding Projects for Beginners is not another theory-heavy guide. It is a practical, project-based roadmap designed to take you from basic MIG welding knowledge to confidently building real, functional steel projects. If you've already learned the fundamentals of MIG welding or are comfortable striking an arc, this book shows you how to apply those skills where it actually matters: real builds. Inside this book, you'll learn how to: Plan welding projects correctly before you ever strike an arcMeasure, cut, fit, and prepare steel for strong, clean weldsDial in your MIG welder for real project conditions, not just practice platesControl heat, distortion, and warping on finished buildsFollow proven welding sequences that keep projects square and strongInspect weld penetration and structural integrity with confidenceBuild practical beginner projects including shop tools, home-use items, and structural framesProgress from small projects to larger, more demanding builds safely and accurately
