Default Re: Learning Fabrication techniques... Need suggestions

I was lucky, had a friend who's dad had an old Craftsman stick welder, a scrap pile under the bench, and a lot of patience! I built my 1st buggy with that welder and a 4" Makita. I've since learned mig and tig, but I am most comfortable with mig. For me, being shown how really made a difference. From that point, it becomes practice. Probably depends on what kind of learner you are. There was another book by Motor Books I saw years back, but I cannot remember the name. It showed misc. sheetmetal techniques as well.
