"Wouldn't it be better to find a place to help out and apprentice for a few hours a week and parlay that into some shop time to braze? " Standalone
Sure if your town has an active builder and they are agreeable. having an apprentice has a cost (not actual payroll) that many builders don't want to deal with (state requirements with employees and such). There is a great efficiency in a one person operation.

they are poping up all over." long john
Again very location dependent. The local Makerspace here has building and insurance limitations about open flame and combustibles. Besides the attitude of some of the attendees weren't what I wanted to have around my equipment or using flames around my body... Andy
