Default Hello all!

Hello, I wanted to introduce myself. I am Dan, I live in Southern Oregon, and I am retired. I have been a lifelong "Car Guy" and became very interested in the art of metal shaping a few years back. I have NO experience or skills in metal shaping, but I hope to be changing that with my free time as a retiree!

Welcome to AllMetalShaping Dan. The very first ewheel I ever sold from my web page went to a Porsche restorer in Grants Pass and we have three other members from there. For a 35000 person town, that's a hotbed of shaping interest.

Very true Kerry! I just moved from the San Fernando Valley in Southern California and I can tell you that per capita, there is much more of a car culture here in Southern Oregon than Southern California! There is a lot of talent and interest here.
