absolutely, absolute, total, complete, newb, wannabe metal welder?

I'm trying to understand more about welding. I have tried various types of "beginner/newbie/introduction/tutorial" etc. searches of google and I always seem to get information that benefits someone who already a level of understanding, e.g. "absolute beginners guide to MIG welding" or "how to weld the perfect bead joint" Yet I'm looking for that initial handholding process of "start with x type of welding that will cover x,y,z and you need v equipment as an absolute minimum, and this type of welder will suit your needs, and here's some project books/projects/drills you can use to gain experience."

    You should see if a local trade school has evening courses.After 40+ years of welding I can tell you that it takes a lot of practice to get good.What ever type of welding you decide to learn on,don't buy a cheap welding machine because the arc voltage will be too low and you will be frustrated with the results.I have 4 welding machines in my garage and the one I use the most is an old Sears 235 amp AC welder that I only use on the low amp range and use 6013 ,3/32" diameter welding rod at about 100 amps to weld most things.You just need to try it and you will learn! Look on Craigs list for a cheap used welder. Hope this helps.You can do it!
