Default Saying Howdy

Hello. I am from Oklahoma (transplant from southern California). I have a small metal fabrication shop, machining, tig welding, and a general job shop. I love doing metal work, but I would like to learn shaping and do it more. So having the fabricating background does make it a little easier to build tools and machines. But my hats off to all of you that can shape metal from a flat piece into a compound curved part, its pretty awe-inspiring to me, thanks for helping us old guys, but newbies out.....
Randy Rannberg.

Glad to have you aboard Randy. There is a wealth of knowledge and experience here. I learned all I know about metal shaping from these guys—and of course from making a lot of mistakes. I took my mistakes to the scrap yard the other day. Got enough to buy a bunch of tools.

Richard
