Yup. Finch's "Welder's Handbook". Well written, easy read.
Also, just visit your library. Although after trying and if
unsatisfied, visit an EAA Chapter.

You could attend one of the workshops at AirVenture or one of the welding
classes that the EAA has around the country.

Short of that, are there good book(s) that you could teach yourself?

I seem to recall practicing clusters with short sections, and putting a tire
valve in it, and see if your welds will hold pressure. I think I saw that
in BengalisIs (sp?) books. Is that a common practice to test the welds?

The second part, IIRC, is tearing it apart, to check penetration and
strength of the welds.
