Hello from Houston
 

Hello everyone. Brian here in Houston. Hoping to learn about metal shaping and maybe even how to fix a dent. I played around with this a little in the late 60's but the results were horrible. Now I've got a little more patience and want to try it again. Main obstacle seems to be the cost of the tools....english wheels, planishing hammers, power hammers, shrinker/stretcher, dolly's, hammers, picks, aaaaaah. Looks like it's just south of 10 grand to get into the game. I'm hoping you'll show me that's not the case.

Brian, welcome and thanks for the introduction. You don't need much to get started. There are some threads on the site that will help you get started. Here is one http://www.allmetalshaping.com/showthread.php?t=2926 David Gardiner's DVD http://www.allmetalshaping.com/showthread.php?t=172 will help show you how to do a lot with hand tool. Thanks for joining us.

Welcome aboard Brian!
