Default Hello from Boston

Hello,

My name is Matt. I live north of Boston. I enjoy fixing up classic cars. I have been into mechanical devices my whole life. I am currently building a '67 Camaro that I have had for many years. I like to learn new things and do things with my hands. I prefer to do my own work rather than have someone else do it. I don't have any experience in metal shaping. I have watched some guys I have worked with do it and have been amazed at what they can do. I would really like to learn how to work metal.

I can weld and have a welder but don't have any other metal working tools so I will need to begin acquiring tools. I hope to learn a lot about metal working techniques and the right tools to work with. Thanks for allowing me on your site.
