intro from john marcus re:HARPOON
 

Hi from los angeles.....i have been involved with metal shaping from 2000.
Taken classes from fournier and covell......got advice from kent white and have have built my own equipmet e-wheels, lipton helve hammer and a couple of air hammers. Other major equipment includes a pullmax, three ring roller, large slip roller and assorted gas and welding equipment.

In the old days i hung out on another forum with terry(rip) and kerry and many other talented folks.

Currently i am working on the HARPOON a V10 track roadster which don varner designed for me inspired by the allen roadster which moal built. I started this project some time ago and have the mechanical nearly complete. It will be bodied in 063 3003 which i am now starting to work on after a several year rest :(

Other activities include knife making, machine shop, welding and gumtoogi.

Hi John, I remember you from the old MetalShapers Association (MSA) site. If I recall correctly you held the first ever metal shaping event at your home back in 2000 or so.

Definitely looking forward to photos of Harpoon. We LIKE photos.
