[QUOTE="jrock, post: 1837528, member: 78569"] I understand what you are saying when you said, "it was anti-climatic." That is the way I felt when I got my first custom gun put together that took me 5 years to gather parts and equipment to build. Just wanted to dive in and build another. My thought on equipment generally echos the posts so far except that it will probably be 2 decades before I can swap out my lathe for a $10k one. As far as learning, information is everywhere. Buy books, dvds and spend countless hours online. I have cataloged a full 3 ring binder of gunsmithing articles and forum discussions with information you will not find in any published book. Machining is the other half of the research equation. Read everything you can find on sites like Practical Machinist for example. I have found very few smiths willing to divulge detailed information.
