Hi Guys

New member from NE England here, I 'm interested in making or possibly in some cases buying some sheet metal machinery for my workshop, I've been a member of the Mig welding forum for some time & saw a link to this forum so have joined.

First thing I would like to make is a sheet metal folder (or 'Brake' to our Stateside cousins) followed by some rolls, bead roller and maybe an E wheel.

But need to do a lot of reading first.

Regards
