Default Here to learn ...

My name is Arvid. I am semi-retired and hopefully will have the time learn how to use many of the tools I have acquired over the years.

I have a Nice MIG welder, a TIG welder, a plasma cutter, oxy-acetylene torches, a 48" finger break, hammers, dollies, etc. What has been lacking is the time actually use any of it at the skill level I would like.

My first projects will very likely be "things with straight lines" like boxes and drawers. After I have become comfortable with cutting, bending, spot welding, finishing, etc. the simple stuff I will move on to the exciting world of curves.

Thanks,
Arvid
