Default Intro

Hello Everyone, I'm just an older guy (in Pa.) that has found metalshaping at an older age. I find it fun and a new challenge. I'm strickly a hobbiest, but I've been wrenching on Hot Rods and doing metal and paint work since I was a kid. I came into metal shaping maybe backwards because many of the old cars I worked on needed body work and I just hammered and shretched and maybe shrunk alittle to make things fit. Fell in love with what I think is true metalshaping so much a few years ago that I bought an English Wheel. Now I want to learn how to use it as well as all the other stuff that goes along with replicating a panel.
Anyway thanks for letting me in, I just want to learn as much as I can about metal shaping. Thanks, Dave.
