Default Hello from South Carolina

Hello everybody. After using the wrong tools for quite a while on my motorcycles and sculptural work, I've decided it's time to learn the right way. I'm a very active welder, building motorcycles as well as doing sculptural and architectural work (and lots of "Hey, can you fix ___________?". I'm interested in learning the basics (I've learned I should have used a wheel instead of a planishing hammer on one project), as well as advanced techniques to bring my sculpture up a notch. I've found this site inspiring and a gold mine of valuable information, and hope my limited knowledge will be of help to someone else here.

Will,
I just finished reading your hammer build thread and am feeling inspired! I have very limited exposure to hammers but hope to find some guidance here.
