Guys, thanks a million for the compliments and support. Listen, there are some really, really good videos out there on fabricating and welding. There is good info on mold making on the Net. I have a couple of John Kelly's DVD's on metal and I know how tough it was for him to produce them. Not a task for me. If anyone wants some recommendations on DVD's, PM me. Also, go to Williams Low Buck Tools for a list of the heroes on tape. The American Welding Society is a good resource as well. Lots of metal working forums, too.
Last year I was toying with the idea of opening a small shop called something like
Monocoque Chassis Engineering. I would obtain or build a Celette bench and outfit it with jigs for the 911, 914 and XKE's (something I've have some previous experience with). But, I think I need a partner or investor to get it off the ground. The last couple of years have been real lean in the contracting business.
Some 40 years ago, I was employed by an artist, a sculptor in fact, building molds and "parts" that ended up being "art." Frankly, that's what I should be doing, but it takes a lot work to become anyone in the world of art. That's why I've never pursued it before. Anyway, maybe that's where the
eye came from.
I'd feel silly teaching welding since I'm still learning.
