Hello to all members
Hello members of the ALL Metal Shaping Community my name is Keith. I live in a suburb southeast of Pittsburgh Pa. I will be retiring in about 3 years from my current profession and have always liked working with my hands. I have started to collect various basic metal shaping tools that include a home made sheet metal brake, bead roller, mig welder, propane/ oxygen tanks along with various clamps, sheet metal hammers and dollies. I recently fabricated a side panel cover for a Honda 750C, simple inner rocker panels for my sons 2001 Ford Explorer Sport. I plan on building a Rat Rod out of a dodge d100 4x4 as a retirement project. My ultimate goal is to learn and refine the skills required to form various metal panels and patches from the posts and pics from the All Metal Shaping Community members.

Hi Keith welcome to the forum. You might be surprised at what can be made with simple hand tools. Sounds like you have a busy retirement ahead.
