G'day fellas I'm Carl.
From Ipswich Queensland. Though have moved around abit. Born in Sydney, Canberra for 6yrs, Forbes NSW for 6yrs. Bris for three, Townsville fifteen, Now here for eight. ( that adds up I guess)
Dads Dad Had a light engineering shop. so I spent a lot of time watching but he wasn't the most approachable of blokes so I missed a lot of opportunity there.
I have been working towards playing with hot iron/steel for quiet a while ( But then I never rush anything)
Did the basic course through the Ipswich TAFE last FEB. with Mark Kent. Been a long time since I learnt so much in such a short time.
So bodged up a forge last weekend got some leaf spring malleable ( Proof of concept)
and now chasing information so I don't have to learn everything the hard way.
G'day Matt small world hey?
Carl
