Hello guys, I'm Adrian. I live in Białystok, Poland and I'm just a hobbyst steel beater metal shaper hammer swinger.
I do this stuff in my free time, because I work full time as a computer programmer.
Seems that being a son of a car mechanic really affected my interests somehow for a huge part of my life I haven't even been into cars to be honest.

I always enjoyed making things by hand, repairing them, etc. When I saw that my daily car starts to rust I decided to do something about it. I kept learning about detailing, painting and similar things. Sadly, done only by myself without any mentoring from another person, based mostly on youtube tutorials was not satisfying my needs.

A year ago I bought myself an old BMW and decided that I'd rather save it than wreck it and throw away. So I needed to take a metal shaping class, because the vehicle was rotten in some nasty spots that I had no idea how to recreate.
There is something called Bodywork Academy here, in Poland, driven by Marcin and Jakub - two amazing guys who showed me the ropes. They also told me about this forum.
And here I am, always trying to learn something new or maybe help somebody with his/her problem by accident
Sorry for butchering your language, I can't really tell if that happened here or not my English isn't perfect.

Welcome Adrain. Don't worry about your English. It is fine and vastly better than my Polish.

Hey. The further into the forest the more trees. I thought that everything could be bought with BMW.
