Hello from New Mexico. I'm Sammy
I suppose a little background of me now
I'm 16 years old, and have been MIG welding since I was about 4 years old when my dad taught me how. The metal working and fabrication bug was put in me. My mom is a bronze sculptor, there fore, I have spent a fair amount of time around foundry's and metal working. We have a Hobart MIG, a full size torch rig, plasma, and recently (6 years ago), forges. My dad and I built some forges out of some brake drums, one a large Semi drum, and we've been picking up anvils and vises. Last year my dad got me a 47 Jeep CJ2A to work on for my first vehicle, and I've been employing techniques I've learned to weld the body, so on. Dad helps when he gets a chance to now.
Well, we've made a few knives, a pair of tongs, among other things for fun.
I'm here just to learn more things
This coming summer I plan on going to become certified in welding plate, just because I can as well
Thanks for the neat site
