The Art of Sculpture Welding |
The Art of Sculpture Welding - From Concept to Creation
Kristi Richardson, McCoy
336 Pages, Softcover
Published: March, 2015
This extraordinary seven-part book covers the processes of creating 13 projects -- from pencils to vases to bicycles -- for all personalities, skill levels and interests.
It is specifically designed for students, beginning welders, hobbyists, and do-it-yourselfers.
Many of the plans have been built multiple times by students and others.
The plans are easy to read and the projects are meant to motivate the reader to want to learn the welding and fabrication processes.
All plans include a list of materials, dimensions, special notes as needed, plus any commentaries about special equipment that might be necessary to complete the project.
Includes designed plans instructors can use to teach students all facets of the welding environment in a fun and challenging way.
All 14 projects were developed because students wanted to build them. A parts list included with each project allows students and instructors to easily complete a cost estimate.
The book starts with projects on beginning fabrication, teaching students how to measure, identify types of steel, use a scribe, a square, plasma and cutting torches.
During the welding process students experience real-life situations where they must tack up a project, check for square, and ensure part size is exact so that joints are not too wide to weld.
Some projects are designed for specific welding applications but can be easily changed to fit all the welding processes including MIG, TIG, AC/DC, and Oxy/Acetylene welding.
Kristi Richardson McCoy is a self-taught welding instructor, with over 16 years of teaching and studying the welding process.
Each year she has striven to learn something new about the field, whether it is the certification process, finishes and paints, or trying something new like underwater welding.
She earned certifications in SMAW and GMAW.
Having an art background has helped her develop a creative teaching style that holds the interests of students who might otherwise be intimidated by the welding environment.
McCoy teaches Computer-Aided Drafting, Electronics, Woodworking, Basic Welding, Advanced Welding, and Welding Sculpture at Spearfish High School in South Dakota.

Value Analysis Tear-Down
Yoshihiko Sato and J. Jerry Kaufman
176 pages, Illustrated, 6 x 9
Published: December, 2004
OVERVIEW
This book presents, for the first time, a new technology for improving products and innovating new and better products, first developed in Japan by Yoshihiko Sato. Value analysis tear-down combines traditional tear-down with the technologies of value analysis and value engineering. Within a few years of its public announcement in Japan, value analysis tear-down was adopted by all eleven Japanese automobile manufacturers, and many of the Japanese consumer electronics manufacturers. Jerry Kaufman, based in Houston, Texas, is a recognized authority and author on value engineering and value management, and has contributed much that is in these technologies to the process described in this book. The result of his collaboration with Mr. Sato is a process that helps engineers and managers reduce product cost, improve quality, continuously improve existing products, and discover opportunities for innovative change.
FEATURES
The first 'how-to-do-it' book in English, it is written specifically for professionals in product engineering, manufacturing engineering, and value engineering; and the managers of these professionals, including plant managers, production managers, manufacturing executives, and research and development executives. It will also be useful to manufacturing, marketing, and management people concerned with product improvement, innovation, and improving their company's competitive position. Value analysis tear-down can be applied in many service and other industries, as well as in manufacturing; wherever there are physical components to be improved or invented.
