Hi I'm Matt!
Well where do i start without sounding like a spammer??!! I have worked as a Metal Polisher since i was 17 (13 years now) and self employed for 7. I have loved belting the cr@p out of metal (ie building random stuff out of alloy) on the side but have never had the confidence to charge and my excuse was that "Id be a fabricator if i could earn the money i can polishing" . I love fab that much i own a miller syncrowave 310 tig , Bandsaw, tube rollers etc etc just for emergencys!
In the past year or so i have been polishing Alloy bike tanks for a bloke named Burnie Willett. Im sure there would be a few blokes who have heard that name around here. His work is amazing to say the least. When he brought the first tank i was jealous of his 50+ years experiance as a metal master! He looked at the many unfinished projects laying around my factory and pumped my tires up about the work i do. He actually seemed impressed!
Lately the polishing has been a little quiet so ive been hassling Burnie if i can come over for a day and have a look and get some tips for metal shaping and welding etc. He dropped some scraps and some pure alloy welding filler rods around the other day and said have a practice and come around in a few weeks when hes not so under the pump.
He visited me today as he was in the area and i showed him my fullsize tracker seat and a few other bits and pieces i made with he's scrap. He was happy with my fabrication and the tig welds and told me to go for it. Im still not keen on tanks as yet as the have to be pressure tested etc but Cafe and tracker seat bases would be safe to build.
So here i am, New business venture. If anyone needs a seat base fab'd, welded and polished in Melbourne Australia I'd be happy to have a play around and learn for minimal fee. feel free to send me a pm or "like" https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Mattys-Shine-Shop-Pro-Metal-Polishing/152527904831097?bookmark_t=page
