Default new old fart new to your forum

Hi guys and gals
I am a "old fart" that has been a tool junkie sense I lost my first tool crawling around my dad as he worked on repairing any thing needing fixed.
I retired from body work and managed a bodyshop for the last 10 years of my working career and retired for good at 49. I have been retired for 20 years now and forget how it was to work!, no really, as Ive 2 small strokes in the last month, I really have forgotten.
As an aid to remembering some of the metalworking skills I once thought had, I am joining the metalcrafting once again.
In the past I have worked in some very high end bodyshops and learned the craft of body repair and restoration eary in my career
I hope to regain these skills and add to them in the time i have left.
I hope I can from the masters here and help some newbies learn what I can remember and regain .

Good morning John, welcome to the sight. I can tell you from first hand experience that the folks here are very kind to 'old farts'. You will have a very good time. Visit often and post lots of pictures.
