Hi Guys,

Many thanks for the warm welcome. I'm on a tight budget but some investments are to be made.

I once bought a very cheap English wheel air hammer combo (at HBM machines in the Netherlands) for under 300 dollars. I think the thing's very bad but for an introduction to the principals it serves it's purpose. I'm working with aluminum and for small panels I manage. But now I'm looking into investing based upon 2 options:
- A small cast iron Frost wheeling machine (big investment)
- A harbor version of the Lazze wheeling machine (1/5 investment of the Frost machine)

My gut tells me to do it right the first time but the investment might be ridiculous for a hobby.

Anyways, today I've practiced with the English wheel. I'm also trying to build a wooden forming tool to make a Cobra Turkey pan. A Turkey pan looked like a simple job but to do it tight needs some practice on my part. But I won't stop till I get it right.

Kind regards,

Frank
