Hi "Mac". Welcome to AllMetalShaping. What part of Canada? We have quite a few of your countrymen as members and there are a couple regional gatherings each year.

65 Ghia. I assume you mean a Karmann Ghia?

Welcome to the site, hope that you will enjoy you time here. Please post some pictures of you project. Thanks for joining us.

Welcome. When you get ready just start asking questions, someone has got an answer.

Welcome to Allmetalshaping, what sort of things do you make as a tinsmith? what is it you would like to learn to make?

David
