G'day from Oz

[Tonos]

Just joined up and introducing myself. Until a couple of years ago I was mainly into woodwork until I found myself wanting to incorporate metalwork into my projects. Over the last couple of years I have been learning as much as I can about metalwork. Early this year finally purchased a welder and have been fabricating a few things learning as I go.

Sheet metal shaping has really grabbed my interest, wishing I had had a go at it years ago when I was rebuilding and painting cars. Anything sheet metal always seemed like unachievable magic that mere mortals should never attempt. I am now having heaps of fun learning a bit about shaping techniques and have a long way to go of course, but enjoying the journey very much.

I have a few tools and focusing on an English wheel as the next big item. Not sure if I should have a go at making one or buy one? Been looking at the Baileigh EW-40 but there do not seem to be many reviews on them.
Cheers
