Well,
I can (and have) build a cocker from scratch but I wouldn't call my self an airsmith.
Plus, there really isn't a big enough business in the UK to pay the equivalent salaries that some engineering jobs can command.
You are best off doing what other have said and get a general engineering backgorund. Build up the servicing etc work on the side and then, once you have a rep up, decide if you want to do it full time.
