Default Hello from London!!

Hi

This is really hard as I'm more of a lurker than a poster 😟

My name is Dan, I'm trying to learn new metal working skills to add to some flair to the stuff I try to make The main thing I have been building up to is a drag racing pickup and I would like the metal work be up to a reasonable standard.

I've been learning how to tig weld and that's going reasonably well so I will also make the tanks up.

Cheers
Dan

Hi and welcome Dan. I recently built a motorised bead roller from some Tom Verity plans. I was able to do all of the machining in house, but quite a bit of it can be done without access to a mill if need be. There is a build thread here.

http://allmetalshaping.com/showthread.php?t=12894

So far I'm very pleased with it, but I'm pretty new to this.

Lots of other simpler builds on here too.
