Most of what I know cane from just doing it. I did go to tech school,
worked in shops for years, but the school is great for backround knowledge,
real world is get in there and do it. Obviously start slow, be safe, but
90% of the mistakes will be inexpensive and a learning experience. The best
investment is good tools and an organised place to keep them. The Mid
Winter Secular Holiday of your Personal Choosing (Christmas for the non
politically correct)is coming, get tools, not Ipods. The right tools are
cheaper in the end than the parts you destroy.
My father was a machinist and former mechanic (B-24 and B29's), and best
things I learned from him were use the proper tool for the job, always use
sharp drill bits, don't be afraid to try to fix ANYTHING and improvise only
when needed to get the car home. Oh, and how to put on Band-Aids and how to
tell if you REALLY need stitches.

I say Amen to that!!!
I don't have time (or they are not offered at night or on weekends) to take
the classes I want at the Tech College in Madison and I would pay real good
money for someone to show/teach me how to do some of the stuff I need to
know to work on our/my little toys!!
