I cannot imagine learning to weld on line unless you already have the basics. As part of a college mechanical engineering class we had to learn to weld with gas and electric so we could analyze the metal and test strength.

Getting the feel for moving at just the right speed escaped me and my welds were too poor to analyze and to weak to pass the stress test!

Maybe it was just me!

No, in my opinion your basiclly right. I do a few different types of welding, with

this I could learn another. But I did read enough info and reference links that I

think you could get some scrap metal and teach yourself to weld. There was even

a link for welding phrases. Pretty Cool.
