in the most constructive way possible - you're just being lazy it just takes practice as you say, and its the kind of practice where feedback is good and nearly instantaneous. it also goes pretty fast. by the 40th hour of welding you should be doing a passibly good job. yes, you will have to struggle some with issues like bridging, undercutting, porosity, and under-penetration. all those are tractable and pretty easy to debug. and yeah, if your major problem is cleaning the work or your tungsten, then maybe welding isn't for you...but I kinda doubt it finishing is where you can really distinguish between the professionals and the weekend warriors.
