Hello everyone my name is tony and I live in colorado. I have had a passion for metal for many years now and have messed with you basic torch and welder type stuff. I really want to try to make custom tools and pieces for my 65 mercedes that I am restoring. Also be able to make things that your average person will run to the store and buy I want to make it. I really want to make my own english wheel and planishing hammer and I really want to make my own forge. I relax when I work with metal and the stress of life and the day just fade away. So just a little about me and wanted to say hi to everyone here.

Hi Tony:
You have come to the right site for learning all of the things you mentioned. Have you looked at the ABANA web site or the Rocky Mountain Forge Council. What tools do you have now? I have made all of my machines and other tools. Check them out on my web site. Go to Class Outline page at the bottom of home page. Jere
