Looking forward to the shaping community

[Metal Thumper]

Hey everyone, Mike from Rockford, IL. During the day I am a mild mannered aerospace engineer, but by night I take my frustrations out on a sandbag and some CRS and AL. Well, not lately...I recently had 3 vertebrae in my back fused together and can't bend, twist, lift or do anything much except read forums and dream about the day I can get back in the shop and start thumpin away. I am hoping to get some advice on creating a buck from a clay scale model. No high-Tech computer, CNC whizbang stuff. I want old school...clay to wood station buck. Look forward to meeting fellow shapers!
