Default Intro from Nor Cal

I'm Max from Redding, Ca. I've been welding/fabricating for 17yrs, build cars for a living, mostly metalwork on vintage handmade bodied Aston Martins, Ferrari's etc. Metalshaping has always been interesting to me, Hotrods and Kustom cars have been my passion since a kid, and for the last 5 years I've built and aquired as much metalworking tooling I can get my hands on, I'm becoming a tool whore!
Thanks for this site.
Max.

Max welcome, glad to have you join us. There are a few people here that have a SMALL collection of tool and for some reason want more. Show us some pictures of what you have done.

Thanks for the welcome, not sure if this is worthy of what most of you post on here but here goes.. this is one of two wheels I built, I designed the jack housing with the help of some very sharp Old-time machinists, 44" throat, 10" wheel and anvils from MetalAce.
