I have bin building cars since 1963 when I worked for Shelby. I worked for STP Corp. during the 69 and 70 seasons building the MacNamera Indy cars. Since then I have done many street roadsters and restorations for customers. In 1973 I became quite interested in Blacksmithing and have bin at it every since. I build all of my own machines, specialty hammers, and dollies. I am quite excited about joining this group and gaining much more knowledge of the art of metal shaping.

You'll find a lot of info and people to help here.

You wouldn't happen to be the Willits blacksmith that used to sell DHC torches?

Default Torches

Yes John I sell the HenRob (now known as Cobra) torches and carry all the parts. I also teach welding aluminum and stainless steel with the torch. If you need any new tips or repair parts look at www.jerekirkpatrick.com.
