weekend hack playing out of my skill set
Hi all, Bill here. I'm an Electrical Engineer but my hobbies are more of the mechanical nature. I have a 69 Suburban which requires body work occasionally, but currently I am working on a set of saddle bags for my motorcycle...yes out of 20awg steel. I picked an e-wheel, bead roller, break, shrinker/stretcher to aide in the process. I already had hammer/dollies & a mig welder. Each is a learning process in itself. This project is tougher than I expected, which is to be expected, lol. I'll post some pics when I can and hopefully get some advice.

Hi Bill, Welcome to the forum.
(handskills offer a nice respite from steady noodling)
