Default NOOB here......

Hi guys, My name is Mark Pinkstaff and I own Skidmarks Garage in Belleview Fl. some just call me "Skid".
50 something and body man since my teens I've always fancied the finer points of metal working than the typical body man gets involved in.
Just sold my auto glass business of 17 years and finally have the time, place and some funds to pursue my metal working skills, so let's get with it!
Put together this Mittler Bros. designed press and since it needed legs to support it and that would take floor space I put those legs to good use holding their planishing hammer over one side and their english wheel ( custom made 10" deeper ) above the other, I still want to add a few more work stations to it before I make it all pretty though...........

Welcome to Metalmeet Mark! We have a great bunch of folk on this forum. I love those muli-purpose backbones for getting numerous tools in one area. Really like the look of yours. Thanks for sharing.

This will be a place for the shot bag, forming heads, T dollys and more, a post attached to the main back bone that extends out when needed and rests on the floor to give it a SOLID hit.............


Folds up and out of the way when not in use.............
