Regards from Derbyshire
Hi, Apart from the rudimentary bending it into form and welding it up I know very little on metal shaping but would like to learn. Currently I am building an English wheel as I would like to shape aluminium to make a petrol tank and other bodywork parts for my bike.
Best Regards from the UK Rich

Belper - not too far away. Thanks for the comments.
Welded the frame up this weekend, top roller is cast iron wheel trued up in the lathe and the bottom roller a tractor cat 3 hitch ball bearings fitted, flatted off and polished up a bit. The rest is scrap steel out of the works skip. Getting a bit of flex in the frame so I need to weld some more steel in there  First bits of alu rolled to try it out attached
