Welding Website or Youtube

Any recommendations for welding? Less about technique, more concerning what metal you have, which wire or rod to use with it, as well as appropriate gas.

Cast iron, I beams, stainless high content, to low content and also when you are not sure of the metal composition, what do you use? What would the best compromise that works on most welds.

Looking for a website or video that would help with these basics.

EDIT, forgot to mention, pertaining to stick and mig.

I'm still a newbie to MIG welding but I enjoy watching videos from Weldingtipsandtricks, Chucke2009, Kevin Caron and Weldfever.

Second that on weldingtipsandtricks, Chucke2009 had great videos back when he did welding instructional videos, now he just does commercials.

He has a YouTube channel plus the website and covers pretty much all types of welding processes.

99 percent of the world's common welding work is mild steel. This is the first thing to concentrate on. Solid wire for mig is the most common today in home/hobby shops. With stick concentrate on 6011/10 and 7018, those are the basics.

Weldingtipsandtricks.... in general.... but he doesn't bundle a specific topics so you'll have to sift through all his videos.... but good for mig tig and stick...

or if you have patience

There are people that uploaded Steve Bleile's video..... they are the BEST for new guy starting out welding.... looking for welding process in a good explanations. His videos are good for MIG, STICK, I think he might also have o/a torch videos as well..... I bought his Mig and Stick dvds when I first started out.
