When I was a young pup, one way to gain access to shop equipment,
and expert advice was to sign up for a Community College night class in
auto repair, welding, etc. Back then they welcomed students bringing
(or driving) their projects to class.

I'm wondering if that still holds true these days if one wanted to overhaul
a diesel boat engine over the winter.

Anyone know?
