Default Hi from Hawaii

Hi Everybody,
My name is Wade and I live in Kailua, Hawaii on the island of Oahu. Im a union sheet metal worker by trade.
I'm a car guy thanks to my dad and brothers. I like old jeeps and street rods.
I've been cruedly shaping copper for about 20 years (mostly art sculptures) but just within the past 2 or 3 years have been learning (through DVD's and the internet and now this site) more real metalshaping tecniques and refining my work. Now want to start shaping other metals like steel and aluminum for personal projects.
Anyway hope to talk to you all sometime soon got lots of questions. Thanks for having someplace to go and talk to other people interested in shaping metal... Wade

Welcome,

There's all sorts of shapers here. Can we see your sculptural work somewhere? My wife and I love Kailua-you should have a Metal Meet.

John

Wade, I can see your album when I look you up in the members list. When I open the album I can see your pictures. Don't know why they are not showing up in the recently updated albums when you look in community, pictures and albums.
