New to welding - Any suggestions on where/how to start?

Hi everyone.
I have just got 2 (new to me) welding machines: one is a stick machine and the other one is tig??(the one with the wire spools but no gas, just electric but it can be converted to gas, I was told).

They're both 110v so nothing professional, they're even portable. I got them with a few accessories like dark mask/helmet.

My14yo son and I want to learn how to weld and repair stuff when needed but frankly we don't know where to start, the youtube videos we found are way too advanced.

We don't even know how to use the machines.. I mean we need the fundamentals. (I've already booked some written materials from our library)

Does anyone have any ideas on how to start the art of welding for casual hobbyists?

What other tools are needed?
What other equipment is needed

Last but not least:
What starter projects do you recommend?


Thank you
