Default Novice from Denver....

hello everyone... my name is brian and i am an extreme novice metal worker from denver co. i am a reserach scientist by training and trade but i love to work with my hands. up until july of 2010 i used to work on my motorcyle, until a cow brought me to a sudden unintended stop..... since then i've been looking for activities to keep me out of trouble.... i've started setting up a shop behind my house for woodworking, metal working and painting. hopefully, the wife will love the wooden projects soo much that she will overlook the fact that i am making a new motorcycle anyway i hope to learn a lot here. i may even be able to contribute once in a while.

Hello Brian, welcome to the site. Look around and you will learn a lot. One good thing about this hobby is you can start learning with very little in the way of tools and you don't need to spend a fortune on machines. (that can come later).
