hello this is laila speaking, i really want to learn how to make carbon part. the problem is that I'm really confused. there is a lot of new terms and a lot of methods. i watched the videos but i still confused. anyone can help me and teach me the methods and there steps? 

Thanks,

Laila 

Initially stick to the basics rather than more advanced methods.

In essence to go from your original part to a finished carbon part, you will need three main steps:

Making the pattern - the thing you take the mould from - often a modified original part.
Making the mould - what you lay the carbon into - in basic terms its a reverse image  of the pattern
Make the part - Wet lay / hand laminating is the best starting point.

This is a good basic video on mould making.  You can see a simple part is lightly modified on a base plate to use as a pattern for the mould.
This is a good video on basic wet lay laminating into a simple mould and the resultant finished part.

Get the basics sorted and once you understand the stages you can move onto different techniques and materials like resin infusion and pre-pregs.
