Default Amateur London Basher - Intro

Hi and regards to All here,

Having had a long standing interest in all things metalwork, I thought it was about time to 'up my game' before it gets too late. Over the years I've restored a few cars and always undertaken repairs/ modifications myself. Luckily I was able to undertake a couple of courses over the last few years covering hand forming, MIG/ TIG, English Wheel and patterns/ jigs at Contour Autocraft here in the UK (highly recommended). My intention is to build a new workshop over the coming months as my old garage is full up and falling down, everyone needs a proper space to work.

As an amateur, I've enjoyed the threads here and I'm looking forward to learning more and sharing any little knowledge I might have here on the forum.

Best regards to All,

Rick / Peter, Many thanks for the kind welcomes - much appreciated.

This site has so much useful information to offer and amongst others I like your thread on turning up domes and lower anvils Rick - very informative.

As for your site Peter, an impressive range of experience, work and tools. I wish I was in your neighbourhood - I like tools .....

As a drinking buddy of mine and I say -

"He who dies with the most tools wins"

Regards
