Hello! I've been interested in metal shaping for some time and am at the point where I want to take the time to learn the craft from hammer forming to the Pullmax. My wife even let me build a garage and shop--bless her!

I like working on old cars and in the upper rust belt, parts are hard to come by so I thought I'd learn what I can to fabricate. Would love to have a shop with all the goodies.

Thanks!

Kris

welcome Kris. I am hosting a metalshapers gathering Apr 27-28 in Hastings Mi. Our snow is gone and it's time to get some shaping done. Come on down if you can. It's 9-5 each day $40 per day and we do cover everything from hammerforms to pullmax. Call if you have any interest 269-948-9474.

Thank you! Glad to hear that there are classes in the area. I’d love to make it down to Hastings but will be away that weekend. Maybe next time! I really want to learn as much as I can.
