Hi Everyone, my names Tom and I'm really interested in learning as much as I can about wheeling and other metal shaping techniques. For the last 2 years I have been studying Welding and Fabrication at Willesden College (NW London) as well as going to their evening car restoration course. I am pretty good at using Solidworks software to model objects in 3D and have a Honda CB250 from the 1970s which I am modifying. Although at the moment it is a load of bits in boxes.

Welcome Tom.

Learning Rhino 3D is on my 'do list'.... but much easier to machine or shape metal and get away from the computer!

Post up photos of the Honda. My first motorcyle was a Honda 305 Dream. It came home in seven wicker baskets. Two months later... it was running (front and rear drum brakes!)
