Suggestion For Courses/Lectures (Non English or Nobb Help)

I'm a Self/Internet Taught wannabe fabricator, started on 3D printing and evolved to larger things, electronics and robots etc...

When someone asks me what was the biggest thing I’ve built I usually mention my House although I did not do it alone and there was a lot of people involved.

I've always had passion for cars and bikes but 20 years ago I had a huge accident in a bike with unprecedent consequences for me, many years have passed and now at 40ish I just want to build stuff.

This course shows that my path of learning is not Bad (with little practice till last year) and clarified many things I did not knew and (still halfway into the course) I’ve already learned and organized many things about the trade.

I’ve just made all this text to justify what I think it could be a Great Help to a person in my situation as a starter.

Bear in mind I’m from Europe and in a non English country, ate least we have a Metric system, In my country (Portugal) there is no ‘culture’ of do it yourself to the level of a fabricator, although we are widely known by our ‘desenrasque’ skills (most man can and should be able to do any simple technical skill even if badly performed like plumbing, electrical, mechanical even masonry).

With all this in mind what would be undouble a great help in the course modules would be some kind of reference to the machines showed, I mean just examples in your local market, something like if I wanted to but a Flare punch like the ones showed, where could I acquire them or a link to some more technical description of the machine.

In my Internet learning the biggest challenge is wall ways find the tool/machine/technique to be able to replicate what I’ve learned, because the names are different from country to country even in English a link for something real would be a bliss.

Thank you Real Fabricators

Thank you TC for this post and that is a great point you make, we must focus on the machines a little more and explain variations throughout the world. Very happy to hear you are learning something and very happy to have you on this forum.
