Eager to learn from all the way down the bottom of Aus!
 

Hi guys, My name is Rowan, living waaaaay down the bottom of Australia on the little island Tasmania! I'm restoring my old 1968 HK Holden Monaro and I have decided to take on the challenge of shaping, fabricating and repairing all the missing, damaged and rusted metal myself! I have always had a keen interest in metal shaping and have taught myself some limited skills by reading as much as I can and watching countless videos! Skilled guidance is hard to come by down here and it seems to be getting harder and harder to find people with the skills to learn off. I'm hoping that by following some of the posts on here I can pick up tips, tricks and techniques to help me along my learning journey! Thanks in advance for the help I'm sure to receive from this forum!
Cheers!

These are a few of the tools I have made to help me along the way so far...
