> by Ron Covell at Craig Naff's Shop in Woodstock, Va.. Ron Covell, known
> as "Professor Hammer", has been giving metal working instructions for
> many years and writes a column for Streetrodder magazine. He has built
> many cars and motorcyles, one of the best know was the "California
> Star", a roadster for Don Varner that won the Oakland Roadster Show.
> Craig Naff worked for Boyd Coddington for 2 1/2 years, building the
> Caddy known as Cadzilla for ZZ Top Band , the Smoothster, a '32 roadster
> for Boyd and a few Motorcycles for Arlen and Cory Ness.
>
> The Courses, Advanced Steel and Advanced Aluminum, were excellent.
> Neither Craig or Ron held anything back, allowing the class to tailor
> the instructions to our needs. Ron is a traditional fabricator, using a
> sand bag and hammer, while Craig, not even owning a bag, uses power
> equipment and is know for finessing the work into shape.

> Ron offers these courses in different locations around the states
> including a two day "Hands On" course in his shop in Freedom, CA (
> wherever that is! ). I would highly recommend these courses for anyone
> interested in learning metal working or just honing existing skills.
