This thread has prompted an idea. Some of us are competent to teach others to do some basic stuff, I'm sure. There's nothing like an hour or two chatting and working through some typical jobs, like making soldered or compression pipe joints, making plastic pipe connections, and other jobs, like fitting MVHR stuff, and all the myriad jobs in a build.
How about setting up a "I'll volunteer to help you learn about that" group? I'd happily take the odd day out to drive up with some tools and stuff to spend a few hours helping someone else pick up some of the skills I've acquired, for example. Anyone else think this is worth exploring further as an idea?
