We have got some good shows comming up. Check out rocket industries top fueler at the Western Sydney Dragstrip.

Two full strip downs and two runs. Good stuff and probably something you have never seen before.

Mustang roundup, Sandown Historics and plenty of tech segments for the tech heads.

Just tune your set to Channel 44 digital (or channel 31 analogue)

Love to hear your feedback :-)

Thank you sponsors

I have three new sponsors that have joined the Gasolene team. In no particular order they are:

1. Penrite Oil - their quality oils outperform cheaper products.

2. DW Customs - A feature I shot for them about a mercury build will soon air. It will highlight the importance of good engineering and the methods employed in their shop to build legitimate customs.

3. Dukes Bodyworks - a state of the art collision repair centre that is also committed to quality repairs for their clients with minimum disruption to the owners schedule. They specialize in insurance smash repairs.

I would like to give a big thank you to all our sponsors who have demonstrated their support of a TV show that has grown over the past few years. Their support has sent a buzz through the Gasolene team and we look forward to filming another great season!

Tech Tip 2 - Hand Tools Only

Here is my second tech tip. Thanks for the feedback from the first video that we put up on YouTube, especially those from the United States and France.

I did some of the video work at the start and Brice included some clips from our popular collection that we have made from their workshops on our TV show.



So if you want to learn the right way to work metal from the best metal-shapers in the world, have a look at the extended tutorial on the DVD collection and get the right tools for your craft.

Brisbane Seminar

Due to popular demand, we are going to run another seminar in Brisbane! This will be held in November 2009.

Stay tuned for details when I post them here or give me a call. I love to hear from my readers. :-)

New series sponsors

Gasolene is starting a new season and to help us along, we have the gracious support of four fantastic sponsors! Without their help, our show would never get off the ground. We believe that this season of Gasolene will be the best that you have ever seen.

Car shows and Swap Meets

I have been to several great car shows and swap meets around Australia over the past few weeks. It is funny thing wearing the Gasolene T-Shirt when you get asked by your viewers where did I get it. I must get around to printing some for sale or give away to my loyal supporters. What do you think?

These shows are a great place to meet new people and see some of the great things that are happening in the world of metal working and shaping. I will be traveling around for the remainder of the year so keep your eyes out and give me some feedback on the show.

Perhaps one of your ideas could be included in a segment of my show!

Perth Seminar

Here is a video that I quickly put together from the testimonials at the Perth Metal Shaping seminar. This year it was hosted by Tom Peach and Peter Tommasini and held at The Hammerworks, Rockingham WA. A special thanks to Clive Ross (the hammer from the West) who let us use his factory as a seminar location.

Enjoy the video crew!
