Hey everyone,
My name is Justin Greene and I'm from Kansas City Missouri. I grew up around a lot of fun metal fabrication; I was born and raised in a custom shop called Wild Child's. Being around creative metal work is the only thing that feels like home for me because of the shop. My Dad recently retired and now the shop is gone. This turn of events has given me a lot to think about. I learned as much as I possibly could growing up around the shop, but sadly, there just still wasn't enough time. I was much more interested at mastering a few things than roughly playing with them all. Because of that I really missed many of the things I still obsess over. I've seen a lot of metal shaping done over time, but, I was never able to do anything really crazy with sheet metal without helping hands. That's why I'm starting now. I'm an engineering student now in my mid-twenties and for the first time since I started school I have the time/money to devote focus toward my creative interests. So to kick me off, yesterday I ordered David Gardiner's fabrication dvd to get me back into the swing of things. I can't wait to get started... I look forward to sharing my projects with all of you. Sharing your skills and insights will be much appreciated - and in return I'll share some wild custom work to hopefully pay you back for your hard work. Thanks a bunch for the time guys! -Justin Greene Last edited by Justin Greene; 12-22-2009 at 02:30 AM. Reason: Clarity |

Thanks for the welcome Marcus. It already is; I've been reading through the bowl making thread - awesome advice. It looks like I'm going to have to figure out where to find tree trunk sections here in KC.

Hello from another Kansas City guy. Am from Overland Park.
To answer your question about the stump, here is a great BBQ place/ firewood place right next to Airparts on Merriam Lane. Id be willing to bet they have a ton of stumps...Eric |
