Default I'm interested in metal shaping

Hi everyone

My name is Jess and I'm new here,looking to learn about shaping
metal. My interests are in aluminum shaping. My hobbies are in
motorcycle and car restoration. I recently purchased an English wheel
and a mini lathe. I am proficient in welding but I'd like more experience
in gas welding aluminum.

My goal is to create something out of the box, not just to restore
but create my projects.

Hi Jess, welcome to the site. I have some footage on youtube showing a little gas aluminium welding. (just click the link in my signature line) You are right to want to learn to weld aluminium with gas, in my opinion its the best medium for welding aluminium.
