    First up which will really help with your skill set is get some really good flat files and learn to file square ie flat to the surface.
    My gunsmith who is now a member of the gunmakers guild in London this was his first job to learn before he was even let lose to learn how to make and build guns.
    Spend ever evening doing this and you will soon get the hang of it. You can then move forward to the next skill set. It like a carpenter learning how to hit nails.
    Good luck
    It's all fun and games till Darthvader comes along
    I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.
