Default Hey, from Tennessee

Hey guys,

I just recently stumbled onto this forum and it seems to be more active then others I've been on in the past.

I'm a mechanical engineer working in equipment design, father of three, and all around handyman. I've owned a 1967 Ford Mustang coupe for a little over 10 years now and have learned a ton from diving into that project. I've slowly developed some metal shaping skill along the way and would love to get better.
I built my own English wheel a year or two ago and have been enjoying playing with it.

To help develop and practice metal shaping technique I started building a semi accurate scale 32 roadster go-kart for my boys to drive some day. Its been a blast and a challenge and has served its purpose of learning already. I'll post some pics up when I get a chance.

Thanks for the add, and I hope to start exploring some of the knowledge on here!

Stephen

Lots to learn and see here.

East TN sure is a beautiful place to be- my wife and I miss it a lot. Chattanooga used to be our getaway, honeymooned there, etc.
