gene winfield metal fab class in san diego

coming up fast.

 

Can't wait!!!

 

This Saturday I had the pleasure of meeting and learning from him in Niles IL., guys he is a master of metal!!!!!!!!!! Bring a note pad, pencil and a camera he will probably have some sort of chalk board or marker type board and he will be drawing hand tools and a couple types metal forming dies for you to build at home. I had a digital camera so I took pics of everything he drew on the board, all low buck stuff an average Joe can build without breaking the bank. Ask questions as he will answer all questions thrown his way, you guys wount disappointed!!!!!!!!!!! Some of you guys will be 90%ers and some will be 40%ers,lol. Gene is funny as hell, what a good time I had last Saturday.

 

cant make it, got bit by a rattlesnake on my foot.
