Hi, I'm Steve. I found this site through one of my classmates at TM Technologies' Torch class last weekend. As far as metal goes, I do blacksmithing, machining, stick and torch welding... sheet metal's new to me. I've folded it up to make boxes and pans and brackets, but none of these nice smooth curved forms or anything. I'm excited about any kind of craft, so it's no surprise that sheet metal attracts me too. Read some here already, looks like a good place. I tend to read a lot, post little.

Welcome Steve. Where in North Alabama are you? I'm in Harvest, just north of Huntsville.

Hi Kerry.

I drive through Harvest sometimes on the way to work. I'm rural, well over west of Athens.

Are you a member of the Athens Forge? I'm on the mailing list and have been meaning to try and attend one.

Kerry,

I'm the outgoing forgemaster of Athens forge. Our Christmas party is this Saturday, next meeting will be January 24. We meet at... hmm... It's two doors down from Fleming Ironworks in Athens, next to Lion's Den Gym. Start around one, run to four or so. I plan to be doing forge welding for that meeting. Come visit!

And thanks for all the welcome!

Hi Steve,
Glad you found this site! There a lot of good people and a lot of good information here. I enjoyed sharing a room with you at Kent's workshop and when I get a chance I'll email you and let you know how things are going.
