• Note 1- Trib technology theory - how to makes high friction metal joins - explains the theory of Trib-joins.
• Note 2- Increased friction secures dowel pins - describes how Trib joins are used to secure a wide variety of different locking pin forms.
• Note 3- Building thin wall tube structures with Trib-Joins - describes a simple join that can be used in a variety of forms to assemble tubular structures.
• Note 4-  Composite crank shafts made with Trib-Joins - describes how to make composite crankshafts from fine blanked or sintered parts.
• Note 6- High friction Trib-joins vs. Anaerobic adhesive joins - a competitive assessment.
• Note7- Attaching gears to shafts with Trib-joins - describes various methods of cold welding gears to shafts ranging from small to large.
• Note 8- Light weight built-up beam made with Trib-Joins - shows how Trib-joins can be used to assemble load-bearing light weight structures.
• Note 9- Ideas for light weight drive shafts made with Trib-Joins - shows a simple press together hollow construction that reduces weight to one third.
• Note 11- Long reach tooling made with Trib-Joins shows two examples of long reach tools made with TRIB-joins instead of messy brazing.
