Jay Donovan in the attached link shows remarkable talent. For such a young person to have the demonstrated level of skill is very impressive. He has a bright future. I see him as another Randy Grubb. As much an artist as well as an metal/mechanical artisan

The get the level of finish in aluminium on some complex shapes is impressive. The motorcycle shown (electric motorcycle!) is now on show in the Haas moto museum.

That was interesting indeed. Would have loved to get into metal shaping at his age. Guess I was, but making custom horseshoes and fitting them doesn't really count.

No kidding. It's always good to see people get to begin at the beginning.

I too wish I was blessed with metal shaping guru skills, good looks and lots of money. Unfortunately none of these has come to pass.
