Just a suggestion, go find a building site or three, offer to labour in person for any of the trades, suitably dressed with high viz, safety boots, hard hat, safety glasses in pocket, and dressed for the weather. What your wanting to do is make contacts, build up friendships, form relationships. Butty and coffee breaks are where you want to be. Most joiners would like to be snuggled up in a warm workshop making fine furniture, but have to pay the mortgage by doing site work. It will give you an idea of whether its what you want.

The general public try to avoid paying, find fault with the work, get upset that there is the slightest hint of dirt, noise or disruption, didn’t appreciate the scale of the drawing you did, take your drawing to get it done cheaper, just a complete pain. You will meet delightful people but also the dregs of humanity.
