Regards from Derbyshire
 

Hi, Apart from the rudimentary bending it into form and welding it up I know very little on metal shaping but would like to learn. Currently I am building an English wheel as I would like to shape aluminium to make a petrol tank and other bodywork parts for my bike.
Best Regards from the UK

Welded the frame up this weekend, top roller is cast iron wheel trued up in the lathe and the bottom roller a tractor cat 3 hitch ball bearings fitted, flatted off and polished up a bit. The rest is scrap steel out of the works skip. Getting a bit of flex in the frame so I need to weld some more steel in there :o First bits of alu rolled to try it out attached
