Hello , I am a welder by trade , some machining. I work on and build hotrods and some bikes. I recently bought a Metal Ace english wheel and love it. I am currently in the hunt for a planishing hammer that will best suit my needs. I have a new job of building the body on a 1940's 1/4 midget sprint car. Looking forward to that . I have a 34 ford coupe which is period correct , and will be replacing some panels later. I have another 34 ford coupe that I will soon be turning into a bonneville style car. I have already made pieces for my boys model a hotrod on the wheel and love it. I want to learn as much as I can about this trade (hobby) , the manipulation of metal has always facinated me , I am 44 yo and still want to learn more. Any classes in my area anyone can tell me about that fits my interest would be appreciated. Thanks for the site , looking forward to meeting new people with same interest.
