Hell if I lived closer I'd work with him for free just to gain the knowledge. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

List of skills:
-I can order pizza
-Crack open beer
-Sweep floors
-Make sweet ipod playlists
-I know a lot of women in the Richmond area.....not really a skill but a benefit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Edit- Actually that IS a skill. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Scotty,

Have you got a disc size and material if he's no longer in business?

Also the degree of angle on the edge would help as well.

So does this disk give more of a metal on metal as to heat the highs and not remove any material? That is what I am getting from the video.

I would love to learn more of this stuff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

As said before, this kind of metalworking skill is becoming a lost art. Carry on, sir!

Nice job Scotty - Make sure you pass that knowledge on to someone. Exactly when did body fillers become the standard? Have you guys gone to waterborne base coats yet?

I haven't heard from Jon in a while now. I assume he is still doing cars, but I do know the hotel gig was eating up alot of his time.

As far as the disk, there are several people that sell them. A guy I took a class from makes a really nice one he sells on e-bay and is in your neck of the woods Rich.

A lot of shops are converting here, but it is not mandatory. We keep watching the northern Va D.C. area. Once they go mandatory, we will be next (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Fortunately I couldn't afford a downdraft booth when I was looking so I ended up with a crossflow, which from what I'm told eliminates the need for all the fans when converting to waterborn. For the first time in my life, being broke worked out for the best (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

There are a couple of online groups that share information about metalshaping:

http://www.metalmeet.com/
http://www.allmetalshaping.com/

Metalmeet puts on an event in the little village of Oblong Ill. every October. I attended my first meet in '06. Learned a lot about the craft! Highly recommended if you want to learn to do this stuff!

The work of an artist. Though this 993 is worthy, I positively lusted for the 930 you had in shop awhile back.

Beautiful job.

I got my disk from John. I didn't have or use a 7 inch sander or grinder at the time. I don't have any grip in my left hand to hold on to one. So to use the disk I went to my Hf and bought a cheap 9k grinder. They didn't have a 7 inch 9k rubber pad so I got a 5k one. You should have seen me holding on to that grinder with just my right hand as the backing pad started coming apart. It threw pieces 40 yards out in all directions until it got to nothing and I could release the switch and loosen my grip on the monster.

My disk doesn't have a formed edge, it's pretty sharp. What I like about the disk is if you bump a area up too far the disk will take it back down. On a demo John beats the crap out of a piece of metal twice and puts it back good both times.

I have one of John's early disks with the safety edge and it's one of my favorite tools.

Well worth the money. Not sure if he still makes them.

Had to laugh at Charliew's comments . Bought a rubber backing disk from Harbor Freight to act as a backup, and it did the same thing.

Harbor Freight, where Quality is erratic and the pieces fly far.
