The same from me here .... Don't give up, have another go & try to get some pictures up so as we can give you some helpfull pointers
Alternately, decide what you are going to practice on & give us a full run down of the details like, welder, maximum power, thickness of wire & type of shielding gas, we can then give you some better pointers
If by any chance you are coming down to West Cornwall for a summer holiday, swing by my place, It would be a pleasure to give you some 1 -1 welding tuiton
