Look around at your local community colleges or tech trade schools for a basic
welding class. You'll get much more knowledge from that than from reading a book
and trying to teach yourself the techniques. Not that I'm opposed to books
(being a book junkie and married to a librarian!), but sometimes there is no
substitute for having an instructor look at what you are doing and giving you
feedback.
