How do I train and earn crones and heat? Everytime I go down to the clockworks in the arcade I die all the time.. Are there other places I can train?

There are a couple things you
There are a couple things you can do to help get started -
Go into the clockworks with a party instead of solo, that way you aren't the only one the monsters are chasing around. Also they can revive you when you die instead of having to revive yourself with energy.
Learn to use your shield. If there are monsters around and you are not attacking, put your shield up. This will help keep you from getting hit unexpectedly and will also get you in the habit of using your shield. Play defensively at first and go for an attack when there is an opening. Only use the first 1 or 2 swings of your sword then shield or move away. Completing a sword's combo results in a long opening where you are vulnerable if the monster wasn't killed off or knocked back sufficiently. The shield videos here are very informative: http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/8157
Stick to the first half of Tier 1 until you are comfortable. The second half of Tier 1 becomes a bit challenging with proto gear. After a couple hours, it'll be easy :D
Finally, start investing in some 2 star equipment. You'll be better protected and do more damage.
There isn't an actual 'training" place, per se- you just dive in and go.
You can grind a certain stratum to learn how to endure with it, but meh. I don't believe this is a training game- more of a "Go in and learn from experience" game. You might want to read the wiki, it has some pretty useful stuff, from enemy tactics to weapon stats.
