I've been looking into this video/learn at home gunsmithing course. Has anyone out there every used this and is it worthwhile?

  Never took the home gunsmithing course and can't make any comment.
  
  I've seen 2-3 of the videos (Ruger 10/22, AR-15, etc), and in my opinion, they're a decent introduction to the guns for NON-gunsmiths, covering a bit of the history, going over how to detail-strip the guns and clean them, and going over a few common tweaks, tricks, and common problems. If you are a shooter with some mechanical aptitude and want to be able to work on your own guns a little, these seem pretty good.
  
  I am NOT a gunsmith, and have no desire or pretense to be one, but my impression is that the only way you're ever really going to learn to be a proper gunsmith is to put in the hours learning and actually working on guns. Instructional material is always good, but apprenticing with an experienced Smith seems to be better.
