Default Another new guy from Michigan!
Hey everyone! Good morning from Byron, MI! I found this site when it was referenced on the Garage Journal. I have a fairly complete fab shop in my 30 x 74 pole barn. All of the requisite tools and machines to make myself dangerous. I consider myself an amateur when it comes to metal shaping but I still get stuff done.
I am also into chassis and suspension design and fab and have an '88 Astro van going together for the last time in the shop right now. This has been a long term project with TONS of metal work and fab needed because there is no aftermarket support for building a Pro Touring Astro Van.
I work at the Milford Proving Grounds as a 3 D CAD jockey and do a lot of product, fixture and test fixture design.
Glad to be here and I hope to be of benefit and to learn a few things as well.
Mark

This is after our annual metalshapers gathering in late April. the first event is full now but classes still have room. The classes are first day basic hand tools shaping andsecond day more advanced shaping and metal finishing. If interested message me or call 269-948-9474 for more info.
