Default G'day from the land of OZ.

Hi all.
Hope I haven't posted this twice.Didn't seen to work the first time
Any way a bit about me. I've been a "metal former " for about 45+ years.
Firstly as a panelbeater (autobody repairer) and then as a Trade Teacher for 30 years (with TAFE NSW). As a technical teacher I was taught the trade students during the day and the restorers, hotrodders and hobbyists at night in the Handforming and Vehicle Restoration classes. Many a "neat trick" has been learnt from students, of all ages, because of their fresh perspective.
To quote Gene Winfield, "every day's a school day". I'm looking forward to loggin in and learning.

Hi Peter,
I was at 2 Sydney TAFE Colleges (Gymea and Kogarah). Vaughan was at Wetherill Park, I think. Never actually met him but I have spoken to him on the phone several times.
Kind regards,
Tony.
