Suppose i wanted to use 6 NW proficiency slots on weaponsmithing, would i get a bonus to the check modifier or something?

btw we're using the tradional NWP system in the 2nd ed PHB

This is a direct quote from the PHB (page 77):

Nonweapon proficiencies can also be improved beyond the ability score the character starts with. For every additional proficiency slot a character spends on a nonweapon proficiency, he gains a +1 bonus to those proficiency checks. Thus, Rath (were he not an adventurer) might spend his additional proficiency slots on blacksmithing, to become a very good blacksmith, gaining a +1, +2, +3, or greater bonus to his ability checks.
