My Mom knows a bit about it too, because he had all the kids helping out, especially the sanding! He passed away before I was born, but my Uncles kinda took up the trade; I wish I lived in Louisiana still so I had someone to teach me hands-on.
Does you uncle have any tools he could hand down to you? Stuff that he doesn't use anymore. I bet your Grandpa had some cool tools that you can't buy anywhere. Back then they had to make the special tools to get the job done.

Next thing I'll be buying is an angle grinder (thanks Alan, Heath, Dennis). Man, the cab better get here soon or I'll not be able to buy patch panels with all the new toys!
