[FISHY-A-NADO]

With all the kids grown and gone now I have been thinking I need a new hobby. The idea of gunsmithing is highly appealing to me. I am a very capable mechanic (automotive, small engine, major appliances, etc.) and an accomplished woodworker. I believe those skills should serve me well in a hobby such as this. My concern however is that a lot of the tools for the above mentioned work aren't really suited for gun smith work so I am looking for suggestions from those of you with experience to help me determine those tools and perhaps a book or two that would be indispensable to the hobbyist gun smith just to get started. I don't expect to do it for a living any time soon as I have a great career right now but having something to fall back on down the road if the need arises won't be such a bad thing either.

Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
