Hey there,

I've been interested in framebuilding for years now and for whatever reason I never made the leap in to it. I've finally managed to scrape up a few bucks to put towards a class in the near future; but before I do so I want to get a little experience so that I can get the most out of it. To that end, I just went out and got a small used oxy-acetylene torch to start practicing brazing and so on.

I'm still learning about what I even need to get my hands on to get started, and this forum is proving very helpful. Just thought it would be cool to see who is in my area.

If any locals have suggestions on where to get brazing supplies, for example, that would be quite helpful; since all I have so far is the torch. And, of course, if anyone has any tubing scraps for me to practice on; I'd be a very happy camper.

Anyways, I guess I just wanted to drop in and say what's up. I'm excited to get started towards building my first frame, and looking forward to participating in the community here.
