Thanks so much guys! These are all wonderful ideas!

I guess my biggest reason for the post is funding, I have very little.

Ideally I would like to vendor at the local celtic festivals as a hobby, and I have a pretty decent theme I believe in the works. I guess I would just like to learn more about wood & leather working, as well as welding, probably torch welding though.

I wish I could learn more from my grandfather, he is 90 years old now and doesnt work on things as much as he used to. I learned a lot from his old world techniques and such, and I feel it in my blood to work with my hands. I just don't know enough as it stands. Coupled with the fact I would also like to maintain all my fingers also..lol
