Just read. You can pick up a lot from books where they discuss different operations (with lots of pictures/diagrams). It also helps if they are enjoyable to read. Along those lines I can suggest "Metalworking: Doing It Better" by Tom Lipton, "Machine shop Trade Secrets" by James Harvey, "Machine Shop Essentials" and "Machine Shop Know-How" by Frank Marlow, and "The Machinists Bedside Readers" One through three by Guy Lautard (sorry, these are out of print at the moment).
There are a few others as well but I'm away from my "library" at the moment and can't remember the exact titles.
Other than that you can also watch a lot of YouTube videos by Tubal Cain or those over on Tom's Techniques by TomG
Hope that helps,
