Welcome to the forums. :thumbup:
I would reinforce what Stacy has said above. Reading as much as possible is a good start; there comes a time when doing is the best teacher.
We each have different ways of taking in information. Some people are auditory, some learn best from reading. Many makers learn by doing. I am one of those. I always threw away the directions that came with the plastic car models when I was a kid.
Being able to spend time with an established maker will shorten your learning curve. The hammerins are also, a great source of knowledge and inspiration.
Good luck, Fred
