[QUOTE="John Klingenberg, post: 1646280, member: 107749"] Very inspiring Cody. You and your wife sound like you have your feet on the ground. I didnt go to school so I have no input there. I was fairly good friends with two Smith's, one graduated from the school at Murray State College in Tishomingo Oklahoma and the other from Pennsylvania School of trades. Both were excellent Smith's. Oklahoma has a two year program and also offers short summer seminars with guest instructors. Do some online searches for these short courses. Some are done through the NRA and are listed on their website. I learned all my limited knowledge through books, apprenticing at gun shops or machine shops, practicing on old guns for 40 years. Go to a school for certain! Theyll teach you correctly and be more demanding of performance and precision. I picked up bad habits it took me years to correct, especially in the machining work. I balanced rotating schedules, school and family for a long time. Dont look down, straight ahead and at the task at hand. Work really really does pay off. I was blessed to retire in my 40s and can focus on passions instead of problems. Keep strong, this too shall pass. [/QUOTE]
