You probably know this already, but...

My experience has been that welding isn't rocket science, but it is like machining, carpentry, sewing, finishing concrete, and any of the other trades. You can't learn how to do it from a book, the internet, or a lecture <sure, you can get a few pointers>. It really takes hours of actually doing it under the partial supervision of an expert just to get mediocre at it.
