I started when I was 15 years old
I would clean and work in the shop
After all the cleaning was done, and done right.
The Smith gave me a piece of steel slag and a #2 bastard file.
He said make a 1"X1"X1" cube, not more than .005 out of shape.
That’s how I learned to use a file, A little.
Now I am 65 years old I owned a gun shop foe 20+ years.
mfpd5 There is no school that’s going to make you a Smith.
Hard work and a lot of years will do that.
Then when you get done, people will tell you that they can buy a new rifle or handgun for the price that the repair or modification will cost.
You will only make a modest amount of money for amount of work you put out.
Sell Toyota's or something else.
If you’re really wanting to do it, then quit your job you have now and become an apprentice at a shop.
