Default New guy from Utah,

Hi all, I am Jim from Salt Lake City. At 70, I've been beating metal a long time. I have a small shop with most of the small tools, e.g., small wheel and airhammers. I've always been a "gear head" guy. Back in the day, I was an airline pilot and aircraft mech. I have restored most something of everything: boats, planes, cars and motor bikes. Still do bikes, mostly UK classics. I have and love my 1953 James Commando trials bike and still compete on it.
Love to help if I can. And I love being the old-dog, still learning new tricks.

Default Ya willing to give some scouts a intro?

I think what you talented folks can do with a "bean bag" and a hammer.
Would you be willing to give us a intro to what can be done and some simple thing they can try?
