[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1192022, member: 24284"] You will NOT learn machining on an internet forum or by watching U-Tube videos. You won't really learn much about 'gunsmithing', either. You'll learn a lot ways how NOT to do it with a bunch of voodoo thrown in for good measure. If you want to learn something about machining, enroll in a night class (continuing eduction) for "basic machining" at your local vo-tech/community college. From there, go on to the more advanced classes. I've spent a life time learning about machining by doing it. First full time job out of high school, running a W&S #3 turret lathe in a machine shop. That was in 1974. For the finer points of gunsmithing, consider enrolling in one of the two yr. gunsmithing programs,,,,,, after you've progressed a little past that "basic" machining class. I had 16yrs experience in a 'job shop', setting-up, tooling, and operating many different types of manual and automatic machines, before gunsmithing school caught my eye. That experience was a huge plus! I still am active in the trade, today. Keeps me seeing new ideas and methods, besides, that means I don't have to take-on every gunsmithing job that comes along. I can be a lot more 'selective' of the work I take in.
