Default Greetings From Down Under

Gday All,
My names Rob and im from down Australia way via Victoria; I have stumbled across this site by accident wandering through the world wide web and am surprised from what ive seen so far as to how much talent there is on here...
Im a Automotive Machinist/Engine Reconditioner by trade, and upon completing my apprenticeship have found myself working in a car restoration shop. Since owning my first car i have always wanted to have a career in the automotive fabrication industry and have always been working on my own cars doing airbag suspension work, bodywork, building engines and different types of fabrication.
I am at the point where i am wanting to evolve my skills and focus more on sheetmetal work and try making specialised pieces, in turn hopefully being able to use techniques ive learned to produce better quality work both at work and on personal jobs.
So i look forward to picking your brains and absorbing as much knowledge as i possibly can from you guys and hopefully in turn becoming a better metal worker...
cheers,
Rob
