Default Hello from the Great White North!

Howdy everyone. My name is Jonathan and I am from Ontario, Canada. I am interested in hotrods and motorcycles. Just a few years ago I picked up a grinder for the first time, and also taught myself how to weld.

I have assorted projects. Currently I am working on a 1928 Model A Sport Coupe. I really have an interest in metal fabrication. Recently I discovered what an English Wheel and Bead Roller is. I have used neither, but would like to get started by building my own English wheel.

I am here to learn from others and hopefully start on my journey to building panels for hotrods and bikes. I started watching Ron Covell videos and I am incredibly inspired.

Cheers,

Jon
