Welcome to the forum.
Yes its true enough once you have the kit, you can do as many projects as your heart desires. The best way to learn is undoubtably a college course, but that takes time and cost money. money which you could spend on welding equipment. Of course the other way is to plunge in at the deep end and have a go, check out malcolm's tutorials www.mig-welding.co.uk/tutorial.htm
The do some welding and post pics of it here, people will soon point you in the right direction
