Default just a new guy that wants to learn from time

Hey guys, how's it goin?
My name is Josh Willford and I'm a welder (went to school for welding at Hobart), fabricator (self taught), blacksmith (some self taught and learning from a friend who did it for a living) and designer (god given talent (yes I am a believer and proud of it!)).
I live in Columbus, Ohio and work for a company called Fortin Iron works as a Do everything guy but mostly make really artistic stuff that not many other people would be able to make (again the god given talent not my own over inflated ego haha)
Honestly I'm here to learn. I have a gift for finding any way I can to make whatever job is put in front of me but I have a great hunger to learn that I feel has stretched the limits of what I can learn here and honestly I'm not huge on technology which I know is weird for a 27year. Basically I really want to learn about metal shaping tips for a broke buy who wants to get into metal sculpture and not that frilly throw scraps together and say it's an introspective piece... that's not art!

Anyway, sorry I'm a talker if you couldn't tell!
Thanks if you made it this far in reading this.
Josh Willford
