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. :-)

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!

Ron Covell

Guess what, we had a visit from Ron Covell! It was great to meet in person and we had a good time showing off our metal work and most importantly, Australian hospitality.

You can view a slideshow of photographs from this visit here.

Love to read your feedback. :-)
