Hello fellow shapers!

[BillyJuggins]

Hi everyone,

Im Billy from Oxford in the UK. I spend my working life restoring air cooled VW, all though some good quality panels are available, most need dressing and some cuts/panels are not all ways available. I fabricate panels from scratch and seem to be able to move the metal the right way however, i find metal shaping fascinating and would love to learn more so i can progress to a stage where i can make any thing id like, whether it he a vehicle panel or sculpture!

Last year I met a fellow member of this forum who suggested i join up, and having seen his workmanship, its really top notch!

I have a strange view on metal, in the back of my mind i see sheet metal as a layer of water and when you move one 'molecule' you move all the others too!

Im quite young still so im hoping to learn alot about both shaping and tools with a view to growing my knowledge and bettering my work.
