I'm returning Felix's 914 to him in San Jose...seems like a good time to do a workshop...
Tentatively ...I will be putting on a metal shaping and dent repair workshop in San Jose/Bay area on sunday the 12th of June. The plan is to start at 9 am and go for 6-8 hours. This will be a loosely organized event. No shop has been selected for this yet. I’m interested in any shops or personal garages that someone might have available in the area. We will be making some noise and will need plenty of parking space. This is short notice, so even a small shop might be adequate. I would like to have about 10-20 people attend. Demonstration of stretching, shrinking, and smoothing sheet metal using simple hand tools. Mallet and shotbag for stretching, hammers and dollies for smoothing, tuck formers for shrinking with a steel hammer. Discussion on making a motorcycle fender, fender flares, making curved flanges, dent repair and using a shrinking disc for metal finishing.....I will add to this as I think of things that might be of interest. This will be for novice to intermediate skill levels. I’m still in the planning stages...any feedback appreciated. I may have a video demonstration as well.....not sure yet. If someone in the area has an english wheel they can bring that would be great. Eye and ear protection required! Please contact me as soon as you can to sign up. Payment in advance is required. First come, first served. I accept paypal or your check. The fee is $75. It is refundable if the workshop does not take place. $50 of the fee is refundable to folks who are unable to attend after paying. Attend at your own risk! Neither myself nor the shop owner will be liable for your safety. Thanks, John www.ghiaspecialties.com ghiafab@msn.com |

I'll donate my car if you need one to hammer on! Big dent in the side panel and I could use some wider fenders. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
