Hi from Melbourne Australia

[twenty]

hi Guys , my names Glenn, just found this forum while looking for metal fabriation projects to learn from other people and gain ideas.

Just starting a sheet metal apprenticeship (light fabrication) as a career change after being in an office for 9 years. Currently im planning to build a 6x9m shed, and am planing on making some small simple products of my own to suplement an apprentice's wage.

Big on my 4x4's, motor bikes, Fords, retro BMW's, tig welding and fabrication in general. So can't wait for the shed to go up, plus the misses can't wait for some of the project cars to move on....

Hope to learn heaps.
Cheers
Glenn

Thanks, yes I can already see a tonne of experience on this forum. Spent the morning reading projects. Love reading what people can do, what's possible and what I want learn to do.

No wild handy work to report, only a beginner at this stage. Mainly modifications on my 4x4, and roofing products at work (rain heads and down pipes). Not exactly the type of company I want to be with, but can't be too choosy when looking for mature age apprenticeships. But can't wait to get into more serious fabrication. I'm located in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne.
