In Kansas looking to shape metal

[mav2985]

Hello, Mark from Kansas here. I grew up on a wheat farm playing in my grandfathers iron pile. Have always enjoyed working with metal, learned to arc weld, gas weld and use a cutting torch around 12.

I am an engineer by trade. Started my career doing sheet metal forming simulations for Cessna Aircraft. Simulated draw form, stretch form, hydroform and hammer die processes in the computer to make sure the die worked before the chips started flying. I was hooked on simulation and am currently doing weight reduction topology optimization on a rocket in Denver.

I am looking to learn more about forming metal by hand to complete some jeep projects I have and landscape projects. After acquiring a pullmax p6 I ran across the AllMetalShaping youtube videos and was convinced this is the place to learn and share in metal shaping endeavors.
