New guy from Boston!
 
Hello everyone! My name is Taki and im 29! I went to a technical high school and took metal fabrication and loved it!! I wasn't the best school but when i was in shop i gave it 110% and graduated top in my class. That's not saying much nor do i expect a pat on the back. I never pursued it as a career but have continued to fabricate since i graduated. Im a pretty enthusiastic gear head and currently work a shop that focuses mostly on custom high end work. I do all the metal work albeit it's mostly simpler stuff. Im always looking/wanting to learn as much as i can and stumbled on to this site.


Main thing i would to learn/improve on is sheet metal work. I haven't had much or any opportunities to work hammer some sheet metal and play with a planishing hammer and english wheel. Also using a shrinker and stretcher. One thing we do at work is custom body kits, mostly being out of fiberglass but i want to start making them out of metal including fender flares and rocker panels so hopefully I can gather together some info on this forum to guide me in the right direction.

Thanks for listening to my rant and any criticism good or bad is always welcome!

Hi Taki, welcome to the site, looks like no-one said hello to you so I will be the first.
