Hello!
BLUF: Does anyone have suggestions on what I should search for, or where to look in NYC? Or other getting started advice? Starting at home is not an option, unfortunately.
Body:
As the title suggests, I'm totally new to this field (and forum) and I'm looking to get started with machining and metal working.
I hope this is the right sub-forum to post this to, and that these kinds of topics are welcome here; please let me know if that's not the case!
I've been watching and reading a lot about other people's professional/hobby machining and CNC projects, and I'M HOOKED! I really want to learn these skills, but since I am very space constrained (city living) I can't really start at home. My background is in software development, but lately I think it's been leaving me a bit under-stimulated; I want to explore some trade skills, either as a hobby or career switch.
I've found a few vocational schools, and some local college courses related to machining.
