Default Intro

Hi,
I'm an engineer and retired in the sense that I'm not currently working for money.
I spent most of the last decade years building a Farrier F82 trimaran from Carbon, glass, epoxy, and foam.
One of my projects is a Bridgeport Interact CNC mill which I will convert to Linux sometime in the future.
My main interest in this site relates to another project.
This is yet another Aston, not one worth spending a fortune on but a DBSV8.
Still a fun car to throw petrol or Avgas at though.
It has lots of chassis rot and a long time ago I bent it during a 'time trial'.
The rot I can deal with but I need to learn a lot about shaping metal.
I'm not currently in Melbourne so my projects are not accessible to me so at the moment I just want to get my head around the techniques employed.
cheers,
Richard.
