Hi,
My name is John and I'm a tool-aholic ... and an old-tractor-aholic ... and a classic car-aholic, particularily 1960 Thunderbirds ... Most of my accomplishments to date have been mechanical. Near term, it will be shifting to autobody metal work. I'm really interested in a planishing hammer right now. My research of planishing hammers led me to this website and I see that there is a lot of good, practical info and advice, well-organized.

Welcome to the forum John, you've come to the right place to learn. Your list of 'faults' is fine, they are all admirable but totally incurable so you'll have to learn to live with them

Welcome to the forum, John.

You should be able to find the membership application to TWA (Tool Whores of America) here on the forum. Even though it's essentially an incurable disease, there's a lot of therapeutic benefits to be found around here....

I think I've come to the right place. Long hard day at work today, but your welcomes cracked me up I'm particularly interested in the TWA ... then again, ... not sure I need any more encouragement. My bank account is already screaming for relief!
