Default Hello

Hi,my name is rick and I have been building custom cars and motorcycles,and doing restorations for about 30 years.I am in the south east Mass. area and have always had an interest in metal shaping and learning new things,not just about coach building,but about the machinery,techniques and people who do this.I will admit to a dislike of typing on computers,but I guess that's the way people communicate,don't get me started on how people use cell phones!

Welcome to the forum, Rick. Sounds like we're on the same page re: cellphones.... Still just a landline for me.

Hi Rick,

Some amazing things going on in here, you'll love it!

I have one of those cellphone things. Being a devout technophobe I went and bought a top of the range Samsung Galaxy S9. Not because I wanted to be down with the kids but because I wanted something that I'd not have to replace anytime soon seeing as the advancing world has forced me to accept such a nasty gadget as a necessary tool of my trade and learning to work the damnable thing in the first place was enough for one lifetime!
Future-proofing, they call it. It disgusted my eldest daughter because her old man has the phone she covets but guess what - turns out you can get a lot of work from Twittergram and FaceTube if you push the right buttons and have apps and such. Who'd have thought!
Anyway, welcome, look forward to looking in on your projects.

Will
