Last week we hosted a metal shaping class at the shop with Peter Tommasini sharing some of his methods. For those who don't know him, Peter is a very accomplished and well respected coach builder from Australia. We were fortunate enough to be added to his class schedule this year, and looks like he will be back next year as well. What follows will be a brief overview of what went on at the four day class at the shop (including preparations) , and show what is possible with a bit of effort.


Picked up some stump blanks to have some extra stations for the metalshaping class...

Kyle took over as I used the chain saw to cut some to length...





This one is about all the JD bucket could stand..











....and some Talstar to take care of any remaining ant domiciles.
