Hey Rob,

Everything said so far is good advice. I'm in school right now to be a welder. Safety is everything. Something coving your bare skin is better than nothing. But you should Idealy use tight woven fabric. A denem jacket or a welding jacket. Avoid all synthetics. 100% cotton, don't have any frays on the bottom of your jeans. They do catch on fire. Leather gloves too.

My advice about welding is take your time and be patient. Teaching yourself isn't impossible, it just takes time. Also, be comfortable, get in a comfortable welding position.

Good luck.
