Default Hi

Hi,
My name is Ken Hopperdietzel. I live Wausau, Wi. I have been doing metal work for over 15 years and love it more than anything. I still have a few things to learn and was hoping that some of you with more expereince than me can get me to the next level.

Ken

Default Hi Guys

I am so interested in metal working its unbelieable. I went to bed last thinking how lucky I was to find a site like this. I still can't believe it. Its like a dream come true. Where I live there only one person besides me that does this type of work but not to the level Dave has. I was wondering if I could post a picture of a part I have have been wanting to make for 10 years? I have mad many metal parts but this one I think will be a challenge. Please let me know. I could use alot of adice on different tools and processes to make the parts I need. I am going to buy Dave's video today which would be a good start.

Ken

Post the picture so we can see what you want to make. Maybe we can help you or at least get you going in the right direction. We like pictures. You can't go wrong with David's DVD.

Depends on what kind of panel it is Ken. Motorcycles go in the motorcycle forum, art in art, ect. If you post it in the wrong place we'll move it so don't stress over it too much.

Default Hi

Thanks its a car part. I just bought a new camera to photo this piece but for some reason the computer cannot read the disc. Once I solve the problem the pictures will be on.
