[Stefan Hokuf]

Greetings, I'm Stefan from Minnesota and figured that it's time to finally register as a user on this forum. I saw Bill Tromblay's great YouTube interview yesterday and was reminded of this great site. I also know Dan Pate and probably some other guys from MN on here from local car shows/swap meets or aviation events.

My day job is at AirCorps Aviation in Bemidji, MN where we restore WWII aircraft. We also manufacture other structures for many other types of modern and legacy aircraft. I travel around the country selling engineering and fabrication services to other companies that need those resources.

On a personal level, my hobbies are early hot rods (40's-50's) so I enjoy getting to work with my hands and rebuilding old cars and trucks. I don't live in the same town where AirCorps is (Bemidji) so I can't take advantage of all of the great equipment that we have there and so I'm only using a lot of the same simple and basic tools that most guys have in their personal shops. Looking forward to learning more here so I can use the techniques myself.
