Hello Everyone

[Chappy]

My name is Bob, I am a metal artist in the greater St. Louis, MO area. I love creating things from recycled metal. Although I learned some basic metal skills watching my grandpa on his farm and in metal shop in high school, I am primarily self taught in working with metal. I somehow stumbled upon this site and it looks like it may have some good information that will help me advance my skills, and hopefully be able to help others with theirs.
I have mostly hand tools including hammers, mallets, throatless shear, a stump or two, my grandpa's portable forge, anvil, and oxy-acetylene torch.

I have included my website in my signature (I hope that is ok) if you would like to see some of the things I have done.
