Default Hello from Michigan
I am a metal fabricator, have been all my life. My family is in the metal fab business and I have worked in all aspects of fabrication. I was an Iron worker in Chicago for about 15 years and then I opened my own chassis shop building Drag cars and some street rods. Then I moved to northern Michigan and my son and I opened a fab shop. I want to learn more about metal shaping. I have an English wheel,Plannishing hamer, bead roller etc.. I just picked up a Trumpf cn900 and started building a few dies and square shank adapters for it with our waterjet. I would like to become a member to learn more about using the Trumpf and doing more complex shaping, I would like to build my own roadster body.

Thanks.....Todd

Welcome Todd. I live in Hastings Mi. but spend a lot of time around Petoskey-Traverse City area. I have been building cars for over 30 years. Check out my new scratch-built roadster project at my web site, Precision Guesswork Racecars.com. Hope you enjoy this site.
