Tubing - Just buy low carbon, seamed and welded tube to start. 0.028 to .035 wall. AISI 1010, 1018, 1020 DOM, whatever you can find.

Filler - Any filler that meets the AWS specs. I'd start with RBCuZn-A, -C or -F. I'd get both 3/32" and 1/8" rod.
Flux - Get AWS Type 4 paste and powder fluxes. Paint the joint with paste, coat the filler rod with powder to start, fine tune to your preference later.
Excellent information, thank you so much. Would a local hardware store sell filler and flux? Might there be a specialty store that does? I would love it if there was a brick-and-mortar place for me to go to. Nothing like a knowledgeable salesperson to help clarify some confusing numbers and letters.

Might this person be willing to be paid for some one-on-one instruction? If you know him personally I'd love a referral
