Welcome to AllMetalShaping Ronnie. There is a metal shapers gathering next weekend just up the road from you in Frederick MD. Details here:

http://www.allmetalshaping.com/showthread.php?t=5471

If you are serious about learning to shape metal, you should really find a way to attend. You'll see techniques and lay hands on machines that you will have a difficult time mastering if you only read about them.
