Default Welcome Eddie Paul

Many of you have heard of Eddie Paul. Some of you may not have heard of him. Eddie has been a member here since 2005 and has made many posts back then. As you can imagine, he is a busy man but he still likes to share his creations. I have talked to Eddie and he is going to post some of his work for us to see again. I originally thought Eddie might be too busy to answer a lot of questions but he has told me that he likes the questions because that is how he will know what we want to see.
Here is a link to his web site. http://www.epindustries.com/
Here is a picture of Eddie Paul and a few of his cars.

Eddie has been producing and coordinating stunts and special effects for over 100 movies over a span of 30 plus years. He has developed and manufactured almost every underwater camera that was used by the Cousteaus as well as other oceanographic research equipment.

He has successfully invented and markets portable Compressed Air Foam Systems for fighting fires.
There are many things that Eddie Paul does. I have explained to him we are a group of metalshapers and we would be interested in shrinking and stretching sheet metal but he also has great tool building ideas we would find interesting. Some of his creations call for the use of a Plasma Cam so we might see some of that too. Mainly we hope to just make posts about what you want to see. If he can spark your interest in metal shaping then we are all happy. So feel free to ask him some questions and there are many videos on YouTube if you type in his name.

So some time Eddie will chime in here and show us what he is up to.
Please join me in welcoming him back to Metalmeet.

Default Thanks for the invite...

Well, as 3 Chiefs stated I am going to do my best to start setting some time aside each week, to upload some How-To's and answer as many questions as I can. So ask away, or let me know if there is anything that you want me to talk about.
Thanks
Eddie Paul

Default It was a fun build

Out of the three, Lightning, Sally and Mater, the last was my favorite, I guess cuz it was so funny looking.
BTW glad to be back, I just got back from a juge show in Essen Germany 575,000 poeple in ten days and there was some really nice cars there... and a lot of real nice metal work.

BTW I just found this old cover (that was my '65 in the BG all steel body and hand shaped.
