Long Time Canadian Lurker

[homer]

Hi my name is Chris I am from london Ontario Canada .I am a commercial/industrial sheet metal worker by trade. I have had an interest in metal shaping for many years and was very excited once I discovered this and other sites on the internet that exposed the methods needed to shape metal and I have to say I have learned a ton thanks to the people on this site .I have been slowly gathering and making tools I have a beater bag, several bat mallets, a stump, slappers from leaf spring and what I believe to be the worlds longest e-wheel build started in 07 I think.The frame is all cut waiting to be welded-I have the upper and several sets of lowers from Joe. adjuster is 90% done just have to find time to get it done. I have been to metalmeet in oblong and have attended one of Dutches meets and was at Ken Burts fist meet as well.I am self employed and have been working to build my business for the last few years so I do not get as much time to play as I would like.Thanks again for the great site and good luck with the switch over Chris Holmes

Hi Chris,

Glad to see that you joined up! I've really enjoyed watching the interest in metalshaping grow in Southern Ontario over the last five years, I think there's lots of fun times ahead for us guys up here.

Sorry you can't make it over in December, are you sure they can't re-shedule the wedding for the weekend after?

Thanks for the welcome ken and Rick. I was considering a life threatening Illness for that wedding date LOL but I think I better go it's a 6 hour drive I'm been told not looking forward to that. I will try and make it to the next one and I will see if I can drag a few buddys with me .

Chris, welcome to the site. You don't have the longest e wheel build. I started one in about 1983 and never did get it completed. Had to settle for one of Kerry's Imperial wheels, much better than I could have built. Thanks for the introduction.

Welcome Chris
I am located in Arkona about twenty miles outside of London Ont. I know Kenny B and was to one of his metalmeets. Outstanding guy and metalshaper. I am presently living in Florida for the winter. Send me a message by PM and I will contact you.I have lots of equipment and a large shop so maybe we can get together to help each other out. I am currently putting together a 22 T Track Roadster.

Hi Kenny,

If I recall the timeline correctly, you and Chris missed meeting up by one day at the first regional meet back in 2006. You were over for the Saturday, and Chris dropped in on the Sunday.
