Hey folks. I'm Josh, and I'm a sheet metal addict.


Things that may be of interest:

1. I make little sheet metal figurines (www.newprotest.org/welding)
2. I wrench on a 1971 Datsun 510
3. I'm a State Farm agent

Thanks!

hi!

I've been reading a great deal on reciprocating hammers/pullmax-type machines, particularly for recreating the lines on car body panels. I'm interested in some of the smaller throat builds, as I don't intend on running whole doors through the machine - just for rust-repair patch panels.

Yeah - Madera isn't too far. Do you guys do any kind of local metalworking meets or anything like that?
