Default intro from Will

Hello everyone---My name is Will Simms, a Texas native currently living in Denham Springs, Louisiana. Married for 30 years, 4 children, 7 grandchildren, one dog (Lucy). I'm glad I finally got register on this forum, as I have admired the craftmanship on this site for years. I am an electrician by trade but have always wanted to jump off and learn more about metalshaping, especially aluminum. I think this is one of the places to learn just that. Have mostly hand tools at the moment, but am researching an english wheel for my next purchase. See you on the forums!

Will Simms
