Beginner's Guide to MIG?

[banderso]

I just got a hold of a little MIG welder and I would like to learn how to use it. I know its a 110V; I think its a Millermatic 130. I was thinking control arm skids and maybe seat adapters would be good starter projects.

I got pretty decent at stick welding a few years ago, but I know NOTHING about MIG. Can anyone recomend a good online beginner's guide to MIG welding? How should I go about learning to MIG? Thanks.

The first thousand hours are the toughest.

I do more TIG welding than MIG at work, but recently I have been doing more and more MIG fabricating work. One good way to learn is to practice, you could go to a local metal yard and get some cutoffs for cheap. sheet metal and 1/8 inch.
You might be able to find a few good guides on google.
