Ay, european metalworker here
im the kind of guy that wakes up in the middle of the night with some ludicrous idea or solution to a problem that seems to have no end
i have dealt with chemistry for more than 10 years as a hobby and decided to not head to university because school was never really my thing
ive found great freedom in working with metal turning it also into a hobby, always trying to better myself and make all sorts of devices
sometimes i manage to produce more handy tools than available on the market.
i try to combine all i can do to fix a problem, so any method in metalwork im interested in
my biggest problem is not having great overview of what im working on and my drawing is awful, sometimes putting my ideas into action is a lot of guessing and walking in the dark with a lit match, but the challenge only makes the final product so much sweeter
sometimes my attention span doesnt go beyond just making the proof of concept
hoping to get some professional advice on here or maybe come across some other creative minds

Welcome, Zeth !
I'm not much of a drawer either. I can do it, and sometimes I waste time drawing things up on a computer, but it takes soo long that I prefer to just hack into the metal.

Welcome Zeth . I'm sure there are plenty of like minds here.
Most of my concepts come at 2am when I wake for a pee.
