Newbie in Louisiana
« on: January 17, 2013, 07:46:21 AM »
Greetings everyone.  I am Gary from Hammond Louisiana.  I don't currently have a shop, just two shipping containers that hold all of my tools and junk. 

When I had a shop I played with VWs.  I built and worked on Formula Vee race cars, dune buggys, baja bugs and regular beetles.  I currently own a VW Thing and a two-seater buggy.  I do have a Miller DVI Welder and Plasma cutter along with all of the related tools. 

I am interested in blacksmithing, iron work, sand casting, and I want to learn to opreate a lathe and milling machine.  I am also developing an interest in model engines.

I am all about building and fabricating anything and everything. 

Nice to meet everyone.
"G"
