Good Day/night/day!

So I'm looking into working with aluminum, or whatever metal would be proper, into a motorcycle fender. I'm also considering using fiber glass cloth and shaping it that way. But the idea of working with metal is cooler.

So, I'm a 32 year old dude in D.C. with 3 kids and a wife of 11 years.

I ride my motorcycle, I video games, I'm going for my bachelor's in programming, and I have a band saw and make wooden toys for my kids. They love them.

I've spent most of my life not doing anything. Video games and TV. Now, while I still play, I can't stand sitting still when the sun is out. I want to make things. I've made a few video games for my kids, I've made some toys for them, and I love creating.

-Hutch
