Hi from Sweden
 

Hi,
My name is Ove Sponton, and I live in Sweden. I've been fiddling with metal shaping for a couple of years, learning more and more all the time. The first project that started it all was when I tried to do a motorcycle gas tank after being inspired by Ron Cowell's DVD, "alushaping w handtools" (I believe thats what it is called).

It turned out well enough to get me hooked. So I continued with fenders and the seat. Since then I've done some more projects. I find it very fascinating what you actually can do in metal, how much shape you can put into it. I'm still on an "enthusiastic amateur" level though.

Ove, welcome to AllMetalShaping. Looks like you have done some nice work on the bike. Thanks for joining us.

Welcome aboard. Nice work on the bike. I have cafe racer project(a honda CB550) in the garage right now.

This one was done sort of freehand based on pictures on an Alfa Romeo 8c2300 Monza

Hej hej kille, välkommen på allmetalshaping. De ser ut som välgjorde delar.

Thank you all. You sure make me feel welcome

My first project, the gastank on the bike, was done mid 2007 so I have had a couple of years to waste some aluminium ;)

Very Nice Work
