Default Hello From Santa Cruz

I have been working with metal since I was a kid, when I built a lawnmower powered scooter. My primary interest with metal is automobile related, but I do cross over with it into my main line of work which is glass. I have been doing decorative architectural glass for over 40 years, my web site is www.bdartglass.com
A few years ago I became seriously interested in learning metal shaping and joined Metalmeet. I have hosted the Norcal regional meet in Santa Cruz for the last 3 years and have had the good fortune of meeting and learning from some very talented metal artisans.

Default Welcome

John,

Did you ever find Ron's hammer? Feel bad that it got misplaced.

You should post a picture or two of your hot rod. Show the body panels you made and the patina you added to make it match the rest of the truck. Also your door panels.

John
