Hello fellow Metalheads!

[hammermfg]

Sorry, needed to put something different...

My name is Raphael and I live just outside of rainy Vancouver BC.

I am a committed car enthusiast, and love them as well as motorcycles, planes and most things with an internal combustion engine.

I’ve always revered metal shaping as a dark art and resigned myself that it was the craft of people that started in grade school and apprenticed under an appropriate sorcerer.

Fast forward some and I’ve spent some (ok a lot) of quality YouTube time watching Wray make beautifully curved and smooth parts from what started as really badly dented garbage cans and have attended a Ron Covell seminar.

I’m hooked and want to learn more. In a few years I’d like to make an all aluminum body.

Thanks for the opportunity.
