Keep up the practise Micheal but practice the right stuff.
Read as many books and tutorials as you can find to learn the basics.
There is a forum, (
http://weldingweb.com/index.php) that is a bit like MLU for welders. Very experienced and helpful guys there will answer your questions and critique your work.
Just reading the forum posts helped me a lot when I was starting out with TIG on my body panel parts.
Good luck with it all.
