Hello
Hello , my name is Wes Wallace. I own a small painting company and like to restore vintage motorcycles. I have many years of body shop experience but have not used english wheels or other metal shaping equipment. I'm interested and learning how and this looks like the place to be!!
 Thanks, Wes

Wes, welcome and thanks for the introduction. You don't need a lot of fancy equipment to get started, learn how the metal react when you apply a force to it and you are on your way to shaping metal. Thanks for joining us.

Welcome to the site Wes. I agree with Joe you can learn a lot without much in the way of machines. Most things need to be hand finished to some extent even if you have every machine in the world. Most things can be made by hand and these skills are invaluable.
