Hello everyone

My name is Marc i'm from the Netherlands. In my spare time i'm always into making something.
I've build an english wheel a few years ago and collecting tools ever since.
I want to fine tune my skills because there's mutch more to learn from you guys.
My next project is building a mechhammer (awesome machine!!) and a thumbnail shrinker (hope to find some building plans here).
Hope to learn and share more info here on allmetalshaping.com
Thanks.

Welcome Marc. looks like you have some serious plans! I always teach hand skills first its much more intuative to shape metal by hand and even with lots of machines I do at least 70 percent of my shaping and finishing by hand. I hope you find what you want on the site.

Hello david.

I agree on the hand skills, you can make pretty cool stuff with simple hand tools and creative thinking.
