Well there is always email!

So as far as hand tools and what not, I have fashioned a dishing stump out of a black walnut stump, and I have two 3-4lbs sledge hammers that I am trying to reshape the face on for blocking or dishing or pounding the bejesus out of stuff. I havent learned all the correct terminology yet lol. I also purchased a super cheap harbor freight body kit with hammers and dollies. Its garbage but a good thing to make mistakes with. I also have a blunted cold chisel for creasing and a line in my stump for creasing oh and a 3000w laser.... I have so much to learn and am currently working on a great helm for fun. Looks like crap but its my first project. I also have been putting shape to scrap 20 gauge for practice. It looks like I am on the right path to learning something or making a fool of my self im sure its a 50/50 chance lol.
