You can teach yourself with some offcuts and some practise. There are plenty on here and lcb that will give you pointers if you post the pics and some may even give you an hour or so of ther time and show you.

I thought that's probably the best way to go...
Only reason really I'd go Stick is that my Granddad is willing to teach me, and what with his experience I'd really gain from it - he was a Royal Engineer, then set up his own large fabrication business, so definitely one to learn from!
Though I've not actually asked yet if he could teach me MIG, so I may have to chat with him this weekend...
Apologies if posting links is frowned upon, I have no affiliations - but is this a recommended/suitable choice?
