Not trying to be rude. But.. Would you go to a hospital for surgery that operated out of a janitor's closet because the OR was not ready? Would you go to a mechanic for repairs that only had a claw hammer, and a pair of pliers for tools? Would you deposit your money in a bank that used a shoe box for the vault? Then, why. Are you attempting to do repairs, knowing you need the proper tools to do the job correctly? I'm not flaming your desire, but you know you are not 100% ready to do repairs that you and your customers can be proud of.. Get the proper equipment, training and then go for it... The learning process is one thing, messing up one, two or more and walking away paid or not is not doing the industry any favors..

I'm sure I'll mess up but that's all part of the learning process. The first job I did for a paying customer I thought would be a breeze. I had been practicing for about a month and thought "Hell, I can do this one." When I was done I was not satisfied at all. I told the lady that I wasn't 100% so I wasn't going to take her money. I feel I'm getting better now and hopefully when I get better equipment I can really do a good job.
