There's also a forum called the crispin colloquy where some guys, mainly in the USA, talk over technical stuff.
It's a pretty deep subject though, there's a lot of steps and many distinct skills required for each stage so lots to learn. If you have any questions I'd be happy to give my opinion on what might help along the way so just feel free to ask.
Cool! I've seen a lot of his videos, but I didn't realise he was in Australia. I think I'll just keep chucking along and then go to a course over christmas or something. Thanks, I'll bear that in mind
