I would strongly suggest you use your money for the school. You will learn more in 1 week there than you will learn in 2 years here. Going to school will show you what tools you really need and which ones you don't. It will also show you which ones you will need first etc. Tools can be picked up as you expand your projects on an as needed basis. Of course as you make your decision on the next tool, the input from this forum will be invaluable as to brand selection. Good luck and I agree with you about Austin. Don't forget that San Antonio is just down the road.

I received GolfSmith's Basics of Clubmaking book today and will investigate those offered by other venders. Arnie suggested using the school money for equipment while pursuing the creation of a well worn library on making and fitting clubs. That is a good idea and it may very well be the route I take depending on what I come up with in the way of tools. However, being that Austin is one of our favorite cities in Texas and having the opportunity to play golf in the hill country for the second week of a two week vacation, the school is still a strong consideration. With eight golfers in the family, five who are still growing in size I will have a few guinea pigs to practice on regardless of which way I go..Oops, I said I would stay in the back ground, sorry! -- ------------ Tom and Donna Mason Athens, Texas [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ #1294190
