Hello,


I spent a few years (about 31) traveling around the US. Due to reductions in force with my employment I am now suddenly retired (for now) I am now ready to focus on some of the things that I have said I would like to do "someday". I have always been interested in working with my hands. I have dabbled in gas and tig welding and some woodworking. But I seem to be drawn to metalworking. I would like to learn how to form aluminum and also work with 4130 chromoly. I am amazed at the old school craftsmanship and appreciate the tidbits of information these craftsman share.



Thank you for providing this website and forum.


Dave
