Fatfudd Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Hi- I'm Dave but go by Fatfudd as a handle. I'm in awe of all of the incredible metal workmanship I see on this site. I hope someday to be half as good as many of you. I have worked with metal in many forms for the past 40 years or so but mostly as a hobby and now have the time to really concentrate on it as an art form. Over the years I have accumulated many of the proper tools but only to a limited extent, the techniques. Since I live close by in NM, I'm hoping to get up and take Frank Turley's 3 week course next year, it just didn't work out this year. I'll look forward to reading and at times participating in many of the discussions and threads on this site. I'll post pics of my tools and later some of my work in the appropriate discussions. Thanks in advance for all of the help and assistance I know that all of you provide to greenhorns like me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
