@fitzee’s fabrication Yes tony! I’m the same love the old tools and the people that I’ve acquired them from. One of coolest guys I got tools from built his own mining equipment, mined for gold, refined his gold and made gold jewellery. Never got to meet the guy but wished I did.

@@MakeItKustom wow that would have been an awesome conversation if you did. It's extremely rare to meet people like that and i always take advantage of the opportunity when it presents itself. Its terrible unfortunate those opportunities are fewer every year. Its good to see there are people picking up where they left off. One day you will be the story tellers in trusted with the past.

Reading the "replies" sends me to ever more interesting videos with techniques I've seen the results of, but not having seen how it's done. I don't think I'll be doing much sheet metal work, but I think I can do a better job making the tooling, better understanding of how it's used, and the problems that need special attention. I really enjoyed seeing those curves welded in, really nice technique.
