Default Hello from northern Ontario,Canada

Found your site,while searching for sheetmetal forming machines,I had to take early retirement from a career of welder /fitter due to back injury 4 years ago .I decided to not let injury stop my passion of all things metal,and set up small hobby shop at home,Once its in your blood I don't think anyone can really stop doing what they enjoy, Just work around my limitations,I am working on a 31 Model A, that needs lots of sheetmetal work, and the threads on here are very informing,I need to learn alot on mechanical assisted forming tools to compensate what I cannot do manually anymore,I hope these forums can help.I do have lathes, mills, presses ,tig,mig,plasma,made a english wheel and bead roller already for sheetmetal work,My other passion is pre 84 harleys,I am am fully set up with all tooling and machinery to bore ,hone cylinders,balance, true flywheels, head work and anything to do with stock to performance engine work,,Hopefully I can learn more about sheetmetal work and maybe pass on any knowledge I have to forum members

Jay

Jay, welcome and thanks for the introduction. Hope you enjoy the site and find it helpful. Thanks for joining us. My dad told me I was just going through a PHASE and that I would get over it, that was over 50 years ago, still waiting for it to be over with.
