Default Hello from new member

I joined this forum to learn more about the craft of sheetmetal forming.
I've already done a lot of metal fabrication with tubing, plate, etc, using welding, machining, etc.
As a teenager, I did a little bit of sheetmetal work on a vehicle, and the results were so-so. Now that I'm older and wiser, I know much more learning and practicing is needed before I just dive into this craft. I've already purchased some hammers, and just made a tuck puck for shinking, and a shot bag. Once I learn more, I'll look at an english wheel and planishing hammer setup.
This looks to be a good forum with some knowledgable people that also seem to be more well mannered than some of the forums I've seen.
Thanks
Kent
