Too Old to Learn

[oldironfarmer]

Greetings!

I was referred to this site and am excited to see what is going on here. I'm just now learning the basics of shaping metal. I'm building a 50 Studebaker pickup for my grand daughter, and a lot of the bottom six inches is missing from rust. I find it very gratifying to have the possibility of actually making replacement panels for the truck, and other old cars I have lying around waiting for resurrection.

I live on a farm, raise cattle, have a bunch of old tractors (old iron farmer) and love making anything with my hands, especially tools. I like using what I have made.

And I like to have fun.

This looks like a great site.

Welcome to the forum, Andy. It's a great place to learn. I grew up dairy farming- I miss the cows but not the work schedule....

Thanks to each of you who took time to welcome me to the forum! I'm not expecting to post much since I'm a novice, but despite my welcome thread title I love learning new things and am attempting metal shaping now. I am pleased to be part of this community.
