Welcome Tony! Where in IA are you?

There is a metal meet (gathering) next week in Dennison MN.

If you are really interested in shaping, you need to get to one of these. I know it's short notice, but if you can, stop by and try out an English Wheel, Power Hammer, etc. And then someone else will show you how to shape with a block of wood and a claw hammer. Seriously, shapers can improvise.
