Welcome aboard Ian

When is your meet this year? It is you that through the meet in Australia? I just remember you showing the TV coverage. Not that I can make it but there are a lot of members out your way.

Very nice to have you

Welcome Ian! make your self at home

Welcome take a look around and start asking questions:)

Hi everyone thank you for the welcome. I have not been very active metal shaping at home latley
At work I have turned out a few small hammer forms that have made life easier, for us all while we
are at sea a drip tray for the coffee machine in stainless was a big hit with the cleaner guy
David :it was tdoty that put me on to this site just the other day when i went back to MM and found the datta loss

jhnarial: Metal meet has held 2 meets a year since it started in late 2007
its a success is due to my friend Dale who lends us his factory and equipment. He's the guy that
pulls it all together. Sadly it has been reduced to a more private group of metal workers .
TV and other seminars brought a huge influx of novice shapers into the hobby with high
expectations .
and while thats a good thing they weren't getting the best out of our three days
so metalmeet down under goes on its just not so public any more

The big news is my hoosier wheels turned up so I can get on with my E wheel frame

There is a metalmeet being held up north in QLD.it is being hosted by Oztinbasher I think he is south east of Brisbane. you can contact him via MM.com or ozrodders.com he is holding two small meets
as his work shop is small steve is a very accompilshed metal shaper


his latest works include a 34 ford rear 1/4 pannel (see ozrodders)

and he has just sold a 34 chev roadster he rebuilt the rear half of it

as for Melbourne MMDU (metal meet down under) public days are stopped until further notice
