Greetings from Owatonna MN. My name is Robert and I'm a metalshaping rookie, but have been reading and looking for awhile. Guess I'm ready to jump in and put hands on some sheetmetal. I'm mostly interested in making motorcycle and car parts but you know how it goes when you learn a skill. Somehow you end up making things you never would have imagined.

I'm looking forward in being part of the community and hopefully going to a regional meet.

Better take Dan up on his offer!! Second thought you might just get infected with that tool sickness that starts with a high fat diet, and end with widows wondering what the hell do I do with this all of this crap...... Dan will explain

I don't recall every meeting either of them, but do know who Kappy is by reputation. Actually I work at a plant just up the road from Kappy's shop. That is until they cut highway 14 through between us.

I will take you up on your offer to visit. I shouldn't have to worry about catching any tool sicknesses as I am already a carrier. Look forward to hearing the story that Dyce is talking about though.
