Default New Member Introduction

Hello,

My name is LeJean, I live in Osceola, WI. I am brand new to metal work/shaping.

I am currently interested in learning how to bend and make rolled edges easily for making storage containers, cans, cookie cutters and other crafty type items, for now. I am sure this is going to lead me down the road to bigger and better things but for now, baby steps into the basics. I really want to learn how to roll an edge so it is not sharp. I want to learn about the tools of the trade. Tools recommended for just starting out for what I am looking to do right now and move up from there once I master the basics. I am pretty handy and love to learn so I am really interested in learning from those who know how it is done, vs. struggling through re-inventing the wheel, persey...

Any help and information related is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and I look forward to the forum.

Thanks again

Sincerely, LeJean
