Hello from the North Sea
Hi,
currently sat between the UK and Denmark on a construction support ship, its late, I am bored so I thought I'd do some research. I was recently asked to help turn a car into a tank (long story) and during that process I ended up working with metal and welding for the first time since I was 18 and I remembered how much fun it was. Having just given up diving I am looking for new ways to pass the time and metal art and other more practical projects have captured my imagination. I can weld (well, i can srtick metal to metal), but I have no idea how to shape so I will certainly be asking a lot more questions than I'll be answering. Mike
