Just grab some junk metal preferably the gauge of what you potentially want to weld.
Just go at it if you practice enough you can keep getting better and better. Its all in the feel and sound. If it sounds like bacon sizzling you're on the right track. THe key is the power and speed combination. Too much speed and the wire will push too little and it pops. The power lever controls the burn. Too much power you cut too little and it just piles up. You'll know when you got it right it looks pretty. You'll know when you have the right combo of speed and power it just feels right. Alway remember its an electric contact clean is required. Taught myself on a sears 110v unit. Argon/co2 gas.


Good
luck
