Introduction: Kyle

[soundtribed]

Hows it going everyone? My name is Kyle, I am 23 years old, and have gathered a pretty extensive set of fabrication skills in my short years. I have worked as a stainless steel welder/fabricator building marine hardware, as well as an anodized aluminum welder building towers and leaning posts for the marine industry as well. I now have my own company manufacturing hydraulic marine accessories.

I have a few design patents with the Brunswick Group, and am very efficient in CAD design and 3D modeling. I have experience with press brakes (CNC), tube bender (hand and CNC), Robotic welding and polishing, ran a 4000 watt CNC laser, manual mill, manual lathe, etc.

I love fabricating and working with all types of materials however there is just something about working with metal. I have a personal goal to master the craft of traditional metal shaping for personal reasons. I have been building cars/bikes for a few years and am limited to my inability to truly create compound shapes. THIS IS WHERE YOU GUYS COME IN!

to start with I am looking for some good English wheel, Bead roller, and Planishing hammer plans to assist me with designing my own. THanks
