Hi - my name is Andy (59) and I live in the Western suburbs of Chicago. My hobbies are working on muscle cars (1964 GTO) and drag racing - we have a 75 Duster that runs 9.30. I have always been interested in metal shaping, but do not have the required tools, knowledge, equipment or space. Luckily, I am in the process of building a 1000SF workshop next to my home.
I have created/dabbled in the making of simple metal brackets, TIG welding and other things. I have been watching youtube videos on metal fab and shaping (Ron Covell, Jesse James). I have also been researching entry level tools for hobby use only - Planishing hammer, English wheel.
I have joined on-line forums in other areas before and find them very informative.
Hope to tap into this forums knowledge base for guidance in this area. Thanks
