Newbie from North Pole, AK.

[Donald]

I'm Donald currently living in North Pole AK. I have been in the Army for 18 years as a truck driver, currently working as a S-3 Operation Sergeant. I only have two and one more deployment left until I have to figure out what I really want to do when I grow up. I like working on cars and trucks, I just want to have something a little different then everyone else. I also like trying new things, and I don't mind a challenge. I am looking to learn metal shaping to increase my knowledge and ability working on custom cars. That would be a dream career for me, but I think I need something a little more realistic, not everyone can do the Foose, or Boyd Codington thing, however I still would like to do it as a hobby. I am interested in making allot of my own tools, you can double to triple the price of thing just because of the shipping. For some reason people (including the USPS) think Alaska is a different country and charge us a fortune for shipping. Anyways this looks like a great site with allot of helpful people. I will be viewing allot in the up coming Months to get my feet wet, and I look forward to hearing from the more experienced.
