Default Hello from Russia!

Hello everybody! My name is Alex and I'm from Russia. Before I was living in Moscow and work on many different jobs (low-voltage engineer, blacksmith's apprentice, welder MMA\MIG\TIG). But 6 years ago I moved to the small village in 300 kilometers from Moscow. And here in old barn I equipped a blacksmith shop. And at first I worked there. Then I started restoring car bodies and equipped an old garage for this. Once I already dealt with sheet metal and I really liked it. Now I work with it constantly, I want to upgrade and improve my skills. While I work with modern cars and almost all repair panel can be bought. Only sometimes I need to make them myself. But I want to learn how to make body panels and grow up to be a custom or restoration shop.

P.S. Sorry for my english, i'm just starting to learn it.
