Greetings from the Great White North

Hey all, I'm new to the art of metal shaping but not to fabricating. Having followed several searches to post on this forum it seems like a good idea to join up, if you'll have me.

Personal pursuits are hot rodding bikes (in the winter), flying stunt kites (in the summer) and computers most any time. My grandfather had a machine shop so building is kinda a family tradition, but it was always the mechanical version not so much the shaping. I'm looking for a new adventure!

I'm currently in Alaska, and don't have any intentions of leaving!

Thank you gentlemen, got to say I'm really enjoying the forum. I feel like I'm drinking from a firehose pursuing some of these threads. I keep seeing something and saying 'oh, thats how they do that' followed by a slight reeling sensation as I contemplate what I could do if I perfected my own ability to pull off such a technique.

The secret to metalshaping is practice. You have to get out and make some scrap before the light bulb goes off.
