Frohe Weihnachten aus Deutschland ;-)
 

Hello guys,

my name is Christian. I come from germany. First I want to say, that my english is not so good as my metalshaping qualities. If I wrote something. I will be all discribe so good as I can. Please, don't look so accurate on my syntax or spelling.

For this a funny Story: I was recently in England to buy a old english Wheel. Everytime I spoke, all people around me had a big smile in their faces.

To my own person:
I learned coachbuilding ( in german it´s called:“Karosserie-und Fahrzeugbauer“). I have my own business here and offer restoring classic cars, especially I take care of the metalskin/metalshaping.

I registered in this forum, because im interested to see what other people in the world can do with sheet metal. And later I want to show you, what I am doing here in germany.

I´m happy to get here.

Greetings
Christian

PS: the translation from the Title: merry Christmas from germany

Attachment 30677at first, I can show you a Picture from my new "old" english wheel.
It was my own Christmas present!

Later I show you pictures from my work.

Wow! Where do you find it and how much did they cost?

I found it in the middle of England. Then I drove 2500km (1550miles) in two days and now it´s in my workshop.

The costs... too much to tell it ;)
But I think a F.J. Edwards Wheel looks pretty cool on my workshop, since the price is secondary

Christian
The wheel looks nice. Might I suggest you add about 100mm spacer under the legs to get the working height up to a more comfortable level.

thanks for the tip. I agree with you.
But I want to build a drawer between the feet and the casting for the bottom wheels/dies/anvils (I dont know what is the best word for the bottom roles).
I can show it when its ready.

Another Question.

if I want to show pictures of my past works, should I post them here or should I open a new thread?

greetings
Christian

PS: If I could, i would sleep on the wheel :D

Christian
Open a new thread to show your past work.

Welcome Christain don't worry about your English it is 10,000 times better than most of our German. This is a great site . Something for every skill level,

Thanks for all your nice welcome.

I will show you a few pictures of my past work in the next few days. There is nothing breathtaking, but I think it's quite nice to show.


until then, greetings
Christian

Sheet metal work is allways breathtaking :D

Hi Guys,

I wanted to show you pictures of my work.
Unfortunately, I was very busy. In Germany they say: (Arbeit zieht Arbeit nach sich)
It has taken a bit longer, but here is my new website.

I don´t know where to show my pictures / swebite, so I'll do it here.:confused::dunce:

Best Regards
Christian
