Hey im Curtis Minke im from Chesley ON, Canada. Ive always had a mad passion for creating custom vehicles on paper and then which led to young fiberglass shaping to, chassis fab and development where I later opened a small part time Rod shop, then finally for the last 4 years i have been developing a real love for coach work. In these past 4 years i have read many books as well as watched videos to hone in some basic skills and tools. Along the way i would practice and practice many different styles and ways of shaping to create the shape/shapes i was after. Im not by any means a pro shaper but i would consider myself to be an advanced beginner. I have learned alot about metal shaping by developing the hand tool skills first.I like that i have had the ability to weld/machine/fabricate since a young age so i have also developed alot of my own tooling and hammers as well. As of the last 2 years the shop has been getting power or mechanical shaping tools added which includes the latest being my Trumpf CN901 nibbler. I have all the original attachments that were available from trumpf. And have also made adapters for other tooling too.

So thats where im at. I usually just use FB, youtube and instagram but i like the library style structure to forums and figured i would like to ask more specific questions that i can now search on here.

Anyways thanks for the add!
