Default New to the group! Metal Shaper from Wisconsin

Greeting Fellow Metal Shapers. Ive been shaping professionally now for about two years. I greatly enjoy the challenges of metal shaping and the problem solving that it entails. Initially I was self taught, fortunately I had the privilege to work with some talented guys. I attended Fay's seminar, and that really helped bring my skills to another level.

I work for Motion Products, restorer of vintage Ferraris. I am fortunate to work with such beautiful cars.

I recently started writing a blog about metal shaping. It is in the early stages of development. I am working out the kinks, developing content and my writing style. I am interested in writing about metal shaping because it helps me think about the process in a different way. I hope that writing about it will help me grow as a shaper. I am interested in feedback, and am looking for topics of discussion for the blog. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Hi Austin, welcome to the forums.

Where is your blog? Always fun to search through projects. Earlier this year I had foot surgery on both feet, hadn't not been for lots of cool projects I would have lost my sanity.
