New to All Metal-shaping

[Jack Charles]

My Name is Jack Charles,
I work for Lakeshore Technical College in Cleveland, Wisconsin as a collision repair instructor. I enjoy learning about the tools and methods used in the early manufacture of automobiles and WWII aircraft.
We have recently added a 96 hour metal-shaping course to our curriculum at the school in order to teach craftsmanship era skills. Baileigh Industrial is one of our partners along with Miller Electric and Snap-on so we are very fortunate to have some nice tools.
I enjoy a challenge and look forward to learning and sharing information related to metal-shaping.
I am interested in stretch-forming, hammer-forming, flow-forming, press-forming, power-hammer work, wheeling, spinning, making rigid mode specialty tools for the MH-19 (have tool holders for 3/4" pullmax) machining, riveting, making jigs, mig, tig, gas welding, making bead roller tools, kirksite tooling, devcon plastic steel dies, plastic tooling, etc.
