Default Looking to learn to do more/better metal shaping

Hello, I'm Herb Hall from Athens, PA. I've been beating on metal off and on for many years making repairs to cars and such. I've taught myself some and can sometimes make small patch panels that are acceptable. I'm interested in learning more and improving my skills and setting myself up with low budget and/or home made tools so I can take it to the next level and be able to make stuff that actually looks like I intended it to and fits where it belongs.

That is the thing to aim for, if you have the determination to make the parts right the skill will come. It just takes practice.
