I'm new here, so Hello everybody!
I work in computers right now, but honestly I'm not liking it. Been in it for about 6 years, doing pretty well, but I don't think I want to do it for the rest of my life. I've been looking for a trade to get into and I'm very interested in getting into small engines. I've done a few mechanical tasks in my life. I can change disk brakes, once replaced wheel bearings in my Honda Passport, replaced the starter on my 78 Chevy truck, and used to build decks, etc for a living...so I guess I'm not totally lacking mechanical abilities. But I've never really dived into anything like this. Ideally I'd like to have my own repair shop one day. Maybe get into selling too. What would be some good ways to get enough training so that I could start to do some little jobs in my spare time (which I have very little of)? Are there any good videos? Books? This board looks great by the way! What do you guys think?
Thanks everybody!
