Default Welcome

Vaughn: Welcome to AllMetalShaping. I live in Ocala and still have a place in S. FL .
Have you been to the Sun'nFun flyin at Lakeland? I am chairman of the MetalShapers Workshop at Sun'nFun and we do hands-on instruction for a week during the airshow. Be thinking about joining us for that week as a volunteer instructor.Most of what we do is teaching the basics of metalshaping by having the students make a bowl. Stretching,shrinking and planishing.
We also do some "other" projects for ourselves and the occasional emergency repair of aircraft pieces that may be required for someone to be able to fly home. Most of what we do is have fun. That is what keeps us coming back every year.

Hi Vaughn, welcome to the site. The wheel is not very intuitive it is best to learn to shape by hand and the wheel will become less daunting.
