			I've been accumulating equipment for metal forming for some time & trying to gain some experience with them . I know there is no substitute for practice but I also know there is a lot to be gained from reading about experiences that those who have been there & done that. My personal interests are hot rods & motorcycles. Hopefully with practice & info from the forum , I can pursue some more advanced projects. Thanks , Ralph

			Hi Ralph welcome to the forum the best way to gain experience is to start with hand tools and progress from there Peter
