Hi Guys,

Craig here, i live in Invercargill New Zealand. I trained as a fabricator mainly doing stainless and alloy work. I have since changed industries now working as a marine designer working in auto desk inventor.

I spend my pass time working on my own projects, 1928 model A and a 1941 Chevrolet truck, doing rust repairs myself. I have made some larger rust panels for the guards and floors for the model A project but would like to work my way towards being able to complete a guard from scratch.

Looking forward to seeing everyone’s projects and learning some new tricks.

Thanks Craig

Welcome to the forum, Craig.

Very cool to see Invercargill- I did a small steel sculpture of Burt Munro & his Indian a couple of years ago.
