Hi from los angeles.....i have been involved with metal shaping from 2000.

Hi John, I remember you from the old MetalShapers Association (MSA) site. If I recall correctly you held the first ever metal shaping event at your home back in 2000 or so.
Definitely looking forward to photos of Harpoon. We LIKE photos.
