Hello - I've been building motorcycles for a while so I'm familiar with fabrication, welding and basic sheet metal work but now I'm working on making my own tanks and fenders so I came here to learn whatever I can. I just finished building an English Wheel and plan to buy or build whatever it takes to get the job done. Up next is a planishing hammer and a bead roller. Thanks in advance for the help.

Terry.

Hello Terry and welcome to the site.

You might consider making a set of tucking forks to do the shrinking on your gas tank like these. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNSTxHmXmTg


If you are going to modify a HF bead roller, here are some mods I have made to mine.
