[QUOTE="mdavis, post: 1646253, member: 93534"] One of the best series of classes I took in collage was jewelry smiting. I learned more about soldering, puddle control, work hardening, casting, bending, forming, polishing, ... All hands on. Most community collages have classes like these as well as machining, welding, ... You don't need a dedicated gunsmithing program to get started. Buy a small welder, lathe, ... and start making mistakes. Mistakes are how you learn. If you don't have any space or money at all, put an ad on craigslist asking if there are any locals with a home machine shop willing to teach you. I saw an ad like this on CL and answered it. I showed the guy a few things and did a few projects with him. We've been friends now for quite a while. He comes over and uses the shop when ever he wants. Learn now, however you can, and when you are in a position to enter a dedicated program, you'll that much further along. [/QUOTE]
