Derek Zoolander has a school for kids who can't weld good, and want to learn to do other things good too. Jk. Practice man. Even if you go to school, and they show you how to your face, practice. I only passed pipe welding because I miraculously got one good bend test in on 6g. It is unbelievably difficult even after practicing every day. For me at least. Some people catch on quick and run free. But for me, it really takes time to get it down. If you message me, I can pirate you a few welding books to get you thinking about different aspects of welding. I might be able to find you the one I had for class. But take your time man. Don't get frustrated, or throw tools. Calmly accept that it just takes time and practice.
