Another lurker!

[Gert-Jan]

Hi everyone,

I've been sucking information from this site for a while now. I don't have much experience in the metal department. My daily job is software engineer... I live in the Netherlands, Europe.

I've watched the David's DVD over and over again, I like the way the explains and he follows british traditions. Right now I am trying to metalfinish a weld. I thought I would learn that trick in a afternoon, but I fount out I should have a [I]lot[I] more patience. (First actually learn welding ) I only have a MIG welder, but it is a Kemppi, very very nice machine. I'm getter better, but learning it is a slow process.

I bought a front wing (fender) of a Citroën DS for 10 euros. It is in bad nick, but that is the point! I want to learn from it. So, first step, learn to metal finish a weld seam. I also own a Citroën DS, which was build in 1969.

I also have 250x150x8mm square tubing (together with 4x9 upper and 3,5 inch lowers from Hoosiers) in stock, that will make a nice e-wheel frame Unfortunately spare time is limited, so the e-wheel is a long term project. I will build when I need it.

I really enjoy reading metalshaping (especially by hand) stuff, keeps me motivated.

cheers,

Gert-Jan
