There was no offense at all, I appreciate it. If there is anything that can be said that is really wrong with the world today it is for the ability of a person to be honest, forthecoming, brutally honest whatever.......... you guys are right.........start basic. but I am a tools guy so I will look up as much info as possible and when I return I will start by hand only with the enthusiasm to have enough hand skill to justify building a machine as well, I have a 35 piece right hand so machines help keep me from hurting so much, I am still relatively young (33) so I try to save that hand as much as possible because I know that the closer to 50 I get you will hear me whining about it hahaha!!!!!!!!!!!! I built a powerhammer for blacksmithing, it works great when I get back to the states I will post a picture on here for you all to look at. But it saves me a lot of pain with working large stock into small stock so I guess that is why I focus on the machines. I try real hard to be ambidextrious but it does not alway work out for me. thanks again and I will get the dvd ordered.
