Mike Brown, straight off the Discovery Channel, has put together a Hands-On Steel Fabrication Class:
Build Your Own Gas Tank in 2 days, Take It Home when you're done.

You will get to pound, stretch, shrink, e-wheel, bend, weld to your hearts content, Or...
If you feel more comfortable, just "watch" the experience, and practice in the privacy of your home. It's up to you, It's YOU'RE CLASS. I just ask that you're comfortable and having fun in the process.

We'll make some patterns, then cut the steel...

We "study" the metal, see what it is telling us, and what "we" want it to do. There will be detailed explanation of Stretching and "why", When to Shrink, and the methods to do this, plus why it is a "harder" thing to do.

Compound Curves explained, with examples, how to "make them," how to "read" the steel with an ordinary metal cutting file, how to "shrink" with a file, pick, or "even" an ordinary common 20 penny Nail.

Hammer Techniques, even hammer "quality," and "shapes" explained...
Very important info here, sure wouldn't seem like it on the face of it...

Also, sand bags/beater bags, 2x4 wood, very simple tools used to stretch and shrink will be used.

Torch work, technique, when to use it AND how not to "over-use it.

Everything it takes to make the metal do what you want is explained, PLUS take it home when you're done.

We will be building a chopper tank (of course), and will include a "Fast Build Technique" we had to use on the Discovery Biker Build-Off creation...It proved to be a Very Successful Design and "look" for the Bike.

It should also be a Profitable Tank to you guys who want to build tanks for a living, using this method.

Now here's satisfaction.....READ THIS NEXT ONE.

When everybody looks at your new $1000.00 Tank and says, HOW KOOL IT IS, YOU can say (under your breath) "yeah, not bad for 8 bucks worth of steel," then laugh to yourself, because YOU made it, out of nothing, and an IDEA.

Now, What I'm describing is Total Satisfaction, It's YOURS, It's HANDMADE, It's a ONE-OF-A-KIND...You just can't "buy" satisfaction like this...

This is why I'm excited about this class.

I know the folks that sign up for this, just "Plain-Ole" have a "Dream."

Well, come on in, you're welcome.

I'll show you EVERYTHING I know, heck, you may show me a THING or two.  

I hope you can come to the classes. It is groundbreaking (for me) and very satisfying for me to "pass it on."

I'm absolutely satisfied you will be PSYCHED and FULL OF KNOWLEDGE in the end.
