My wife and I moved to Pennsylvania from Texas about four years ago and have been renovating an old house. I am a retired fabricator/welder. My last real job was at a Boeing plant in Corinth, Texas as a fab/tech, a sort of model shop environment. Then almost ten years running my own business before moving to PA. I like doing ornament iron stuff and have sold quite a bit of it over the past few years. I also make tools and machinery on occasion. My avatar will be a picture of myself and a 1/3 size model of a 1923 case hay press that I built from blue prints. Most of my metal work is formed cold so forging is my weakest area. Maybe I can learn something here and possibly pass on stuff I have learned over the years.
One question: Does anyone know how to make gilders paste?
