Just as a means to an end (knowledge), I'm fairly tight with the owner of my LGS, he has a smith on payroll and I was thinking of offering to help in my spare time for no $$$...kind of an "internship" if you will. There are just no local schools with courses available.

I've done the usual beginner "stuff" (re-stocking, bedding/pillar installs, cut/recrown barrels, trigger swaps, etc.) that can be done by hand without machinery. I'd love to learn how to run a lathe and mill...

I find the work enjoyable (most of the time...) and consider it a hobby. Gets my mind off business for a while.

Good luck.
