[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1451375, member: 14204"] I think you answered your own question. As a life long learner, I have a different take on learning opportunities and don't mean no disrespect to the resident experts and gunsmiths. I spent nearly 10 years in the early 1980s doing machine shop works so I know a little bit of what it is involved in the process. We all learn and digress things differently. Online classes (not created equal) is not for everybody and it takes a different form of discipline and learning skill set. Per your goal, you just want to learn the basics as the foundation and progress from there. One has to start somewhere. This reminds me of the parable of the two sons, [I][B]"It's not how you start, it's how you finish." [/B][/I] My sister-in-law (not a teacher and has no degree) decided to home school my niece and nephew. A lot of their friends and family (if not all) including myself was skeptical but to make long story short, in May of 2017, my niece graduated from the US Naval Academy with a degree in Nuclear Physics and now an Ensign on a frigate (currently deployed). I say go for it and perhaps you can make an arrangement with your nearest gunsmith for some kind of apprenticeship or mentorship on weekends to fill the hands-on training gap. Good luck! Ed [/QUOTE]
