Default Tom from Belgium - new member
Hello,

My name is Tom.
I live in Belgium, from profession I'm a goldsmith, and currently during my spare time I'm making a small copy of a Vespa Faro Basso from 1954 (approx. half the size of the original). Pictures will follow as soon as I have figures out how to get them posted on this platform.

I would like to learn more about metal shaping to bring my hobby to the next level ....

Very nice work Tom. You said the scooter is half size. Will it be powered.

Looks as if you are already at the next level.

Cool.... You are a sneaky little Goldsmith then.
The scooter is a Hoot. Nice job.
