try your local sheet metal /ducting fab shop or local stainless stock holders as most offer a cutting service .
most places will let u rummage in the scrap as long as u put a £5-10 in the coffee pot

304 ss will do to practice

what type of welding you doing mig/tig/arc ?

start with 3-4 mm plate the get thinner

Went to a couple of places today and got a few offcuts but no tube but got enough plate to have a go anyway. I'm hoping to learn tig welding from Nos if I can save enough money for a tig welder and the other tools

The closer the joint the neater the weld
