			greetings all. a little about me. i am 37 with a wife and 3 kids. my youngest being my only son at 2 years old. i have always been interested in metal shaping but it has been limited to body work on cars. recently i decided to take the plunge into fabrication for a few reasons. 1: i've always wanted to learn it 2: i want to build a scaled down model T roadster go kart for my son and i better get started before he gets to old and 3: because i like making steel sculpture and would like to expand into sheet metal so right now i am here to learn and soak up the knowledge on the forum.. thank you
