Default New guy from Western NY

Hi guys, I stumbled over this forum while searching for E wheel plans.
From the posts I was able to see as a guest there is much fewer arguments and "my hammer is bigger than your hammer" type squabbling that has left a bad taste from other forums.
I am a welder/fabricator by trade in the street rod business and dabble in shaping on occasion as the need arises. I would love to have the skill sets that I see from some of the members posts and I'm sure I can pick up some tips and tricks from the site. If anyone has welding and or fab questions that I can help with please feel free to ask.

Pete Clark

Hi Pete,

Welcome! Where in Western NY are you? I'm in Rochester, and recently built a clone of the Model 34 Crown Imperial (Cloneranger in the Wheeling Machines section), if you want to look at a machine.
