Hello from Durban, South Africa.
 
Hello, My name is Clive, I live in Durban, South Africa. My interest was started by wanting to make some alloy fuel tanks for my old bikes that I rebuild. I so far have made a English wheel, planishing hammer, bought some shrinking and stretching dies jaws and made the rest. One thing living in Africa you learn is to make things as there is nothing in the metal shaping line you can buy here.
I have made one fuel tank so far and it turn out ok .. or so I think. Now to make another 8 tanks for the other bikes, each one a new design.

Cheers, Clive

Welcome Clive

There is a growing number of shapers in South Africa on this site. To my knowledge, you're the first from Durban I've encountered. The majority are in the w.Cape and a handful of us in Gauteng.

Cheers
