machine-n-forge Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Hello to all of you smiths out there. I have been forging now for about three months so I have a lot to learn from you guys. I just stumbled upon this forum and was thrilled to have all of your experience at my beckon. I have been a machinist for the aerospace industry for five years, so I have a fairly good understanding of metal and its properties. This hobby will hopefully open my eyes to other aspects of metal that I am unaware of. Thank you all in advance for any help and advice that you will send my way.

machine-n-forge Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 Larrynjr, The company that I work for is a shop that started out very small with 4 conventional mills and 3 lathes in a little garage. Over the past 36 years it has grown to a capacity of 12 CNC VMCs, 2 horizontal pallet changers, 3 CNC lathes and also has an in house tool grinding shop. We mainly supply to B/E Aerospace as well as Weber aircraft. Primarily seating parts and the occasional cosmetic gadget. to all, Thank you guys for welcoming me so warmly.
