I hear ya bro, when I was going through A and P school welding was one thing I hated. Some people can pick it up and do it with little training and others cant do a great job no matter how much they practice.

my best advice, practice making puddles as long as you can before you even pick up a rod. Better yet: Learn OA welding first!
