I can relate to your frustration, but you are fortunate in that finding help is much easier today than it was when I was trying to learn. I started my quest in the early 80's and there was no internet, and very few books on the subject. Trial and error was my only option until a couple metal guys that I worked with taught me how to move metal where I want it.
There's an abundance of information available these days that can shave years off your learning curve. This is the place to start your journey. Ask questions.
