Another thank you. This weekend was something else, I got to do all the things on my wish list in one day. Sunday I decided to just observe, and still learned a lot just watching. Was taught how to stretch metal, make tucks and hammer them down flat again, why you do this and where it's used. Made a bowl, or dome shape from flat sheet by hammering it out on a stump, worked it on a planishing hammer and E wheel, even gave it a bit of character and a rim with a beading machine. And this was just the first item. Shown how to make a flexible pattern, and how to make the part from that. The reverse curve was really a cool thing to do, (potato chip shape) that can be found in a lot of areas of body work. I learned so much in such a short time, it was amazing. Meet some really cool people with some fantastic talent and know how. Meet a few newbs just like me, and I can bet they came away with a lot of new skills and knowedge as well. This was my first metal meet, Pugsy and Chef, a big thank you. Learned a lot and had a great time. Sniper

I would just like to take this opportunity to thank Pugsy for opening his heart and his shop and dedicating his time for this event. It was an educational experience for me and I enjoyed it very much even though my bowl was wabbly. It was very well organized and I was pleased to meet some of the forum members.

 We had a great turn out on Saturday with 19 or 20 not including myself or Chef Mark. About a dozen on Sunday.

Hopefully, these pics will get others interested and we'll see even more next year.

Alright!

Looks like there's gonna be alot of interest for next years meet as well.

Looking forward to seeing a bunch of new faces along with anyone else that came to the first meet.

Maybe we can bug Poncho into taking a cruise down on the Saturday to do some bench racing.
