Hi david at the moment as much as I would love to do a course, I just couldn't afford it in the near future. My main interest would be to learn the basic foundations using mainly hand tools, I would love to learn to use a wheeling machine and planishing machines etc but wouldn't be in a position to purchase them.
I have been considering my options at the moment and think that spending my money on your dvd and some basic tools would be my best bet, then I can practice on a few small repair pieces I need to make.
Hi tom, thanks for your brilliant suggestion, I would never of thought of the bclm. I will pop down and have a chat with them and see if they would be interested in me volunteering one day a week. I have a good knowledge of mechanical work, body preparation and painting.
So hopefully I can be of some help to them in exchange for their knowledge.
That course you linked does sound great and that work is amazing but I just wouldn't be able to afford it as with travel expenses, accommodation and the fees it is still close on £1000. Also it seems mainly aimed at wheeling which would be great to learn but I couldn't afford one in the near future.
Thank you all for your great help and suggestions. They are greatly appreciated and I look forward to any more ideas.
thanks andy.
