Metal Shaping classes by Per(MetalmanSweden) withPat (Patman) Brubaker
The first of the classes will be getting started in the morning, and it is going to be very interesting. I have watched these two talented gentlemen match wits, ideas, vision and energy for several days, and it's going to be filled with ideas, tips and tricks. I will try to post photos from each day.

People arrived early today in anticipation of the 'fun' that was in store for all. It was very interesting to see the way that Per and Patman had prepared their approach to the class. They each would do a similar thing in a dis-similar manner, and it was interesting to see the light bulbs going off as folks began to understand that their are several approaches to metal shaping and that only one idea was the correct one. You could see that the different approaches gave a clear indication of the concept, as opposed to learning 'one' specific way of doing things. That opens the door to creative thinking and was quick to give some confidence to those of us with somewhat muddled thinking as we had been told that their might only be a narrow way to approach a situation. Nice work guys!

Patman is supervising. pc1-a 013.jpg At the beginning of the class, Per speaks to Jimmy Matthews and Greg Plunkett, while Patman counts the twists in his shoe laces. Note the multi-tasking workstation that Patman made for the class presentations. VERY creative. Get him to explain all that it can do sometime.

Will, thanks for posting the pictures of the daily sessions with Per and Pat. Showing that their is more than one way to accomplish the same thing is an important part of the learning process. Looks like everyone is having a good time and learning.

Will, thanks for sharing the pictures, looks like a great time.
Thanks for hosting the event. Though I'm not able to attend, kudos as you are carrying on the preservation and promulgation of the trade/craft, and many of us will benefit through what you, Per, and Patman share on this forum. Also, very good to see the "more than one way emphasized". More than one way to share on a forum as well. The red mini hammer Per used with the shrinking die caught my interest; have details on that been posted here before?

More pictures from the second at the first class. MUCH information and the way they each approach the same problem from different angles has been very good in teaching us to learn concepts, not just process. Great stuff! I am fortunate to be in a position to absorb this metal shaping information. Much time was spent in anticipating result PRIOR to using a hammer or a machine.

The class was great !
Using a wire buck and shrinking on the English wheel were all new to me. It is always interesting to meet the attendee's and view there different backgrounds and experiences. Per and Pat are both great teachers who offered alternative methods to arrive at the same end point. They really know what they are doing in metal. And a thanks to Will for putting up with us for two days ! Dave
