Default Big hello from the UK

Hi all. My name is Russell & I'm 36yrs of age. I'm a custom motorcycle builder @ my company called RB Kustoms over here in the UK. I have been a welder/fabricator for 18yrs now & am always looking to learn new things & techniques so I can better myself. Found this site in a mention in a UK bike magazine called Back Street Heroes.

Look forward to spending time on here & learning new techniques.

Cheers & speak soon, Russ

Thankyou all for the kind welcomes. Can't wait to spend most my evenings going through these posts brushing up on info. Most interested in the power hammer section, especially as I want to build my own. Just can't find anything like that over here in the UK. Real shame, cos I love the beauty of these big old machines. It all seems to be a throw away society now a days & nothing is built to last anymore!.
