Default Getting Back on a Metal Forum

My name is Rick Mammel. I have been involved in metal forming and fabrication for 38 years. Was involved in the very early days of the original Metalshapers Site. It was a great venue for several years with many high profile metalmen sharing their tricks. Several reasons lead to a reduction of participation on that site, mostly too busy with the daily business. Now in semi retirement I have the interest to see what is happening in the metalshaping community. I have also downsized my shop to reflect doing less commercial and more hobby work. Sold off my 2m Pettingell and several duplicate machines and will now rely on a EWheel and Eckold for my shaping. Bit rusty on wheel use, will be interesting to see how the re-acquaintance goes. Look forward to reading and contributing to posts.

Rick

Welcome Rick. I remember you from the MSA days. Welcome to AllMetalShaping.

We have quite an active Eckold community here. What do you have?
