Default hello from alabama

i'm new here and looking forward to learning about working with metal. my hobby is old cars and i'm always needing patch panels. the ones you buy will work, but sometimes not very well. i thought i might get to where i could fab some of them myself. i'm 66 years old so i don't have time to learn it the hard way, so i'll need you guys to speed up the learning.

Hi Mac, welcome to the forum. Its possible to form patch panels with very few tools. Look around and you willl find threads showing the use of simple home made tools.
