Default Hi Everybody

Hello,

I'm Jim Littiken from Quincy, Indiana. I've been doing metalworking for many years. Several years ago, I did metalworking full time when I owned a shop that worked on hot rods and other classic cars. Recently, I've mainly been doing woodworking and some machining. I would like to be a part of this community because I want to get involved in metalworking again. We are currently building a barn that will be used as a shop, and after it's done I plan on putting a lot of time into several metalworking projects I would like to do.

Hi, Jim, Welcome! Lots of great people here on the forum, and I would love to see some of the cars you have previously built! Good luck with the shop, and hopefully you will share with us how you designed your workspace so beginners like me can learn from you!

Dave, I hope to get in to the new shop in the spring. For now all my sheet metal tool are stuck in the corner of the machine shop. We have been working on the new building about a month now it is a timber frame so is taking some time.
