Default Hello from Blacksmith Bill

Hello, I normally do not speak much about me but here goes.
I have been in the welding / fabricating / machining industry since I was a teenager (almost 24 years ago) I have built a lot of industrial machinery but since I started riding motorcycles I am interest in building stuff with more complex curves and am learning about shrinkers, pullmax machines, kraftformers ets. I have an english wheel and planishing hammer ever since we had a job to make a camel "armor plated" for a prop guy that we work for. I also have a small forge and make a few simple knives and other doodads.
I am building a truck for my son and a few other automotive and motorcycle related projects.

regards,
Billy

Welcome to the forum, Billy.

Some metals flow well at the plastic heats and some metals flow well cold, although some do not flow at all, except when either molten or powdered.
