Boru,
What would you hope to be the output of your metalworking? Like whatcha buildin'?
Doodads and whatnots, basically. I don't really have a goal or a project in mind, other than to learn something new.

Hmm, in that case one thing you might want to check out is Fusion 360 it is a free CAD tool (mostly) that I've used for visualizing and then dimensioning a workpiece. I did this with my son's welding bench then took the measurements to Forest Grove Iron Works and they helped me pick out bar stock, then cut them to the lengths that I wanted, then we welded that stuff up.
