new member/ body man wanting more out of metal!

[tech69]

Hi everyone! First off I'd like to say thanks for having this site for guys like me that love to hear the details and learning. I'm a journeyman body tech that does restorations out of Sac, Ca and I've gotten to the point where I feel I'm being cut off from completing the metal work and in order to keep progressing I must take it upon myself to learn more, away from the shop. I've read a couple books and am eager to get started. What better way than in my garage in a stress free environment? So to get started my wife is getting me a bench english wheel for Christmas and I already have a bead roller, shrinker, and stretcher. I suppose next I'll get a stump, some shrink tuck forks, different hammers, wood slappers, and I already have a metal slapper. I think this is gonna be a fun hobby for me and I can't wait to read some posts by some guys that love sharing info.

btw, I thought I posted in the introduction section already but didn't see it and assume I didn't hit the submit button so if there's two posts I'm dearly sorry for the spam.

WOW! Man, I saw your video on a Monaro quarter panel a while back and I recall posting it on my facebook page to guys that don't even do metal work and I say, "this is the most incredible thing you'll ever see." That was just mind blowing. They totally didn't understand but one guy did and he was also amazed. Thanks for the response!
