New guy in Fort Worth

[MikeP]

If it isn't obvious the name is Mike, I live in Fort Worth Texas and am a welder by trade. Don't have much professional experience working with sheet metal, I've been banging things around in the garage figuring it out as I go but am excited to learn the proper way to go about it. I mostly work on chopper related stuff and occasionally do some decorative round rod stuff on the side. Here's my current project I'm working on.

And some of the rod work, a hat rack for my brothers wedding with our last name.

Welcome Mike,

I have been on here a while but still consider myself a beginner. I am in east Texas (wills point). Always looking for new people to kick around ideas with. Love the Bikes.

Anyway Welcome to the site, Your work looks great and for sure not a beginner. Enjoy the site there is a ton of great people and lots of great information on here.

Hi Mike welcome to the forum

Thanks for the welcome and trust me I'm still a beginner with sheet metal. I'm just fortunate enough to know how to weld, most all of my jobs have been fabricating with much thicker steel(1/4" minimum usually up to an inch or two) so a lot of this is pretty new to me. Hell just in two days of reading on here I already feel I've learned so much though, very excited to take my fab skills to the next level with lots of help from here.
