About Me:
Founder Kent White (aka "The Tinman") had been doing high-end auto and aircraft restorations for nearly 20 years when he realized that centuries-old metalworking skills were rapidly disappearing, and that new, innovative tools and techniques were needed to revive and preserve the metalworking traditions.
Today, TM produces hand tools, forming machines, welding supplies and eyewear, and instructional DVDs for metalworkers looking for high-quality ongoing support for their craft.
We also offer popular "hands-on, get your fingernails dirty" metalworking workshops, classes and seminars at our shop and off-site. Our goal is to offer high quality at a fair price and solid technical support for our students and customers.
Kent continues to do metalworking fabrication and project consultations for private and commercial aviation, automotive and cycles (including tank construction), and art metal.
TM's clients include Polaris, Honda Marine, Mercury Marine, GM Prototype, Ford Prototype, Harley Davidson, FMC, Delco Remy, Hughes Satellite, Boeing, Delta Airlines, BFGoodrich Aerospace, Toyota Off-Road, Fed-Ex, UPS, Kodak Labs, and thousands of individual craftsmen around the world.

I can see clearly you're preserving a vanishing craft. Thank you for not retiring and taking your knowledge with you like so many others have done. Public schools have spent the past 2 decades forcing kids to go to college, and colleges simply don't teach this kind of stuff. You are very much appreciated!
Best Regards,
