Dave, welcome to the site. Having machine shop tools and the skill to use the equipment will allow you to make a lot of the tools we use in metal shaping. To be a good metal shaper you need to understand how the metal moves when you hit it. Shaping with hand tools helps you learn how the metal moves and you will produce a lot less scrap. Thanks for joining us.
