New guy from NC
 

Hello guys.
Hope you are all well.
I am not even a novice... I am a brand new beginner to metal shaping.
I taught visual arts for 20+ years and am pretty with my hands- good woodworker, have remodeled several houses, and just taught my self to weld.
Had a change of heart and thus a change of careers, kinda mid-life move. I am now a 50 year old pastor; married for 21 years with four children.
I love hot rods and old school customs. My dad was an auto body man and painter for over 40 years- so I grew up in a garage. I have his hammers and dolls... My plan is to keep my head low, and read a lot.
I would like to said how wonderful it is that you great craftsmen are willing share your knowledge- thank you.
That's about it.
I am very glad to be here.
Have a wonderful day.

John
