Default New guy from Texas

I'm Greg Young from Spring, TX. I'm an airplane nut. I fly, build and restore vintage and experimental aircraft. I own a 1950 Navion, have almost completed my 2nd RV-6 and have 3.5 Taylorcraft L-2 restoration projects. Plus I'm designing a 75% replica Corsair. The Navion and RV are sheet metal and the L-2's are tube and fabric so all need a variety of metal working skills. Assuming I live long enough to build the Corsair it will need a lot of forming for skins, cowling and fairings.

I'm just learning to OA weld and have tried my hand at forming sheet metal. I'm hoping to pick up tips and techniques as I progress and get some suggestions on tool selection.
