How hard is spot welding to learn?

The learning curve

Set the time and current, clamp, squeeze. The skill is in setup and electrode dressing, not hand technique.

Fastest way to improve

• Weld on scrap of the same thickness you'll actually work
• One variable at a time: amps, then speed, then torch angle
• Chisel, brush and LOOK at every bead — the wreck tells you what to fix
• Short daily sessions beat monthly marathons
