Hi!, Janne from Finland
 

Hi to everyone.I have been a "lurker" for a while,don´t know why,somehow i have felted,that when i joined here, i didn´t have much to give,so i kept just reading posts....I live in finland, and work in a car engine workshop,as a machinist/welder and thermal sprayer,mainly thermal sprayer.I am interested on bikes and cars..I have learned tuck shrinking & stump shrinking from this forum and Kerry´s dvd.It was a great feeling,when i realized,how the shrinking worked,when i first talked about tuck shrinking,at my work,everybody sayed i am nuts, and it can´t be done...not anymore.I have builded a helve (copy of Jim Bailie´s),with adjustable eccentric,and old sewing machine motor, and dies for it,including steel thumbnail dies, three different sizes. I can try to take some pictures from it....thatway i finally have something to give back to this forum.

sorry about the typing errors....:)

You already gave somthing back to the forum, thanks for the intro.

Welcome aboard

Janne, welcome and thanks for the introduction. We would like to see some pictures of the tools and tooling you built as well as some of your shaping. Glad to have you here.

Welcoms Janne!
If you copied Jim Bailie's helve hammer, then, you have a nice machine:)
