Default Hello from West Coast US!

Hi All!

My name is Ricardo and I live in Portland Oregon. I've worked with metal at various locations around the world (wherever my every day engineering work has taken me, Europe, Australia, US) and mostly on classic (European) and modified cars that I or my friends have had.
I've taught myself panel beating, metal shaping, and welding, and am now learning all the ins and outs of machining, both lathe and cnc milling.

As they say, the more you learn the more you realize how little you actually know, and I'm always keen to see new or better ways of doing things. I'm hoping I can contribute to and learn from folks on the forum.

Thanks!
