Haha, welding wood is tricky. You’d need a board stretcher instead!

Added and credited you. Thanks for taking the time to do that, that saved me a lot of digging (a second time!)

I had a pretty good idea of where to look. I've been scrounging workshop books, mostly metal related, but also wood, for much of the past 15 years, and many of them come from archive.org.
