Hi, my name is Tammy and I live in Fort Worth, TX. I have been curious about metal work/shaping for some time and have some projects in mind that led me to this site. Currently, I am most interested in working with stainless steel rods and sheet metal to duplicate some BBQ tools my dad made about 40 years ago. I have the only set he made and would like to make sets for my brothers and sister. Before my father passed away, he told me some of the things he did to create these beautiful utensils. However, never having attempted a project like this, I am hoping to find tips, and identify necessary tools, here.
