Hello from Manchester UK
 

Hi folks,
I've always admired the way that some can 'simply' form amazing stuff from plain sheet steel. I have a typical british classic car (high rust content) and need to be able to make some nice patches. Whilst looking around for help and how to's I came across this site. I am sure that there are many skilled people who will be able to help someone who is all fingers and thumbs (not flat yet:)). Largely new to metal working too but always willing to learn - life is just that kind of adventure. Oh and by they way I tend waffle on too much.
Here's hoping for approval ..... and then some help.

Welcome to the forum, Derrick :)

I'm only about 30 miles or so South of you. Quite a few of us Brits on here.

Welcome Derrick, always something new here to learn about.

Thanks for the welcome guys. Dan - I'm actually in the southern end of Manchester and drive down your way regularly. Looking round the site I have noticed that David Gardiner is a member here too. This guy is a legend in my small metal working circle. I bought his dvd and am sure that there must be some computer special effects used ;) it's not really possible to do that kind of stuff with so few tools :cool:
Back to looking at the amazing stuff on here.

Hi Derrick welcome to the forum from Essex.

HI Derrick welcome to the forum
Peter

Small world :)

If you liked David's DVD, you should check out Peter Tommasini's DVD's too. Both incredibly skilled craftsmen!

Alright - so I've been here five minutes and am about to spend some more money (Peter Tommasini's DVDs). I can tell it's going to be a good experience (given that there are six DVDs that is a lot of beer and curry nights with some like minded friends!)

Hi Derrick and welcome!:)
