Thats excellent work there, and a very informative post indeed.

Left to your own devices could replicate the xk wing again? I know with experts on hand it may seem easy. A bit like watch a DIY programme on TV. But these experts have had years of experience.

Years ago panel beating was a traditional 5 year apprentice course, all the teachers and anyone in England who has these skills would have done one.
So is it optimistic that they can transfer their skills base in a 5 day course?

May be i'm being negative, but i can see how i could need up giving up after creating flat steel into scrap metal. And spending a fortune getting there too!
