My name is Nick and I'm 26. I'd like to find someone nearby who is willing to teach me how to use a lathe/mill/etc. I would be willing to help around your shop/garage on any projects.. I have a couple projects I could come up with and of course I will pay for all materials. heck, i'll clean out your attic if you let me tag along in the shop so I can soak up some knowledge.
My schedule is pretty much open- I have a disability called Cystic Fibrosis. I recently fell ill and couldn't work full time anymore. I'm on the mend and doing better.. but I now have a lot of free time I'm trying to fill. I'm hoping to learn how to use the machinery so I can purchase my own and know how to use it. It would give me something to do at home.
I live in Three Oaks. It's a town in Berrien county, about 20 minutes south of Benton Harbor. If your near this area and willing to let me come by, please email me- nhaggard07@yahoo.com

There's a good bunch of folks on the site here who are willing to help, regardless of the question and how "stupid" it is. I have found that as long as you are willing to learn, feel free to ask! Whether you find a mentor here or not, stick around there is a great wealth of knowledge here.
