Does anyone know of any other good instruction materials out there? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 1,901 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 1,901 | If you can separate the wheat from the chaff they are all over You Tube... Personally, I've learned the most over at the SPI users forum. Most of the guy's here will tell you the same thing. Product preference is personal it seems.
Regardless, a lot of research and reading = lecture hall hours but the real learning takes place in the lab.
Give me ambiguity

There are a lot of photo albums posted here worth viewing. They have good info for beginners and up. Read, learn, try, try again was my teacher. You have to get into the shop to learn the feel unless your one of the lucky natural bodyman. Years, time and experience are the best teachers. Good luck and have fun

I learned from it and go back to look at more than once.
