Default Hi from South Africa

What a find!! Metal shaping is a dream - always looking at people crafting tanks, fender and the like out of flat sheets of nothing. will get there one day.

my other joy is making my own tools - much more fun and sometimes cheaper. metal shaping leave room wide open for this practice (air punches and hisses yesss).

hope to learn loads of this forum!

thanks!
Neil

Durban, South Africa.
