Hi Japie & welcome.
Seems we're finally starting to get a lot more South Africans on board! Need to get that next 'meet together.
I run a three day course at my workshop in Stellenbosch. The focus is on learning the basics using hand tools. You can e-mail me at:
grauzibros@gmail.com if you can't reach me by PM.
BTW you've probably made the best investment you could starting out with David's DVD!! Plenty of info in there.
