How Do I Do This!

I Have No  Experience !!!

I grew up around machines and animals. If I wasn't getting scraped up and beat up on by the chickens, then I was getting splinters or burns from the craft tools. At the end of my elementary school years, my grandpa had taught my siblings and I to use various tools from the band saw to the welders. As I went through school I gained more experience from shop classes, but while I had built simple things for these classes, I had never built something substantial. 

This will be my first attempt at such a grand project. 

Considering what most of my classmates are looking at for their projects, I have been told this sculpture is a bit ambitious. I am sure feeling the pressure this early into the class. Of course I am worried about the choice I am making, thinking to the fact that I haven't made something this big, and the time we have to get this done. But I want to devote all of my free time to something I am motivated about and I am surely motivated to make this beast of a project. 

Research 

Since I have no idea where to start, I guess I will have to look towards the great big internet for solutions. Through my trek across the web, I found a man that made tutorials for beginners such as myself.
Sculptor Kevin Caron

Kevin Carron  has come to my aid.  He provides informational videos on using all sorts of materials and tools for getting the job done on a project. I highly recommend watching the free videos. Looks like the next couple of nights I will have to take some notes on his tutorials.
