Hello I'm Tom from Quakertown Pennsylvania

Hello Everyone,

I'm Tom from Pennsylvania. I got interested in metal work when I received a gas tank that was damaged in shipping.



I bought a dolly and a hammer from the local flea market and attempted to fix the gas tank flange.



The hammer I bought had a serrated side which I don't know what it was for. Looking on the internet for information about the different types of hammers and their use I came across David Gardiner's youtube video called Bodywork Restoration Tutorial DVD. I was amazed at David's video. My wife bought it for me for Christmas. I watch it at least an hour a day. I want to try some of the forming that David has done in his video.

As I went to purchase some steel I was bewildered by all the options for sheet metal. Looks like 1008 cold rolled steel is what I should use for automotive applications.

That is my story! I look forward to conversations and learning with you all!

Regards,

Tom
