Hello from The Great Lake State

[Rustbelt Brat]

Ran across this site when checking something on HAMB, where has it been all my life? Growing up in Michigan in the '70s, rust repair was an essential skill, although I can hardly use the word "skill" when thinking about pop-riveted HVAC tin. (Just give it a quick vinegar wash, and the paint will stick - for a while). Attended a one-day metal forming seminar at Ididits' factory, where Clay Cook was one the four instructors. Very informative, although there was some grumbling about the price of a Pullmax. I guess some things never change. I would like to improve my O/A welding skills - specifically how to deal with all the extra metal after I am done welding two panels together
