There has been some talk of trying to put together a steel buy, if there is enough interest; which would coincide with this meet.

 

---No one has responded on the steel buy, maybe it's still early.

 

---Only three months left to register for the Cuesta College / MM meet.

 

I don't have an English wheel. Am I wasting my time if I can't bring this?

 

---You don't have to bring any tools if you don't want, just come and join us and have fun shaping metal or learning. Some folks bring a project to work on and some hand tools. I am presently looking for some experianced metal shapers to do some demonstrations. Last year most folks just picked up a piece of metal and learned to shape it. Some make bowls, mini clock fenders, gas tanks for the more advanced.
---If you have ant more questions just contact me.

---Due to unforeseen circumstances Ron Covell will not be able to attend the Cuesta College meet.

 

Thank you to all who helped put this meet together. Even though I was only able to attend one day, I came away with a lot of great ideas.

The highlight for me was having lengendary tin man Paul Bragg spend the better part of his day working on my 32 rpu doors. They were rough...and he performed some magic. As he said on the second door..."there is more door than we have day"...but he got them to a point where I think I can finish the work. I learned so much watching him work.

Thanks again Paul!











Neal

 

---Neal, I am very glad that you guys made it to the Cuesta Meet. Paul is a very interesting and colorful person, I think that he done a fantastic job on the metal finishing seminar.
