Hey from Norway
I am a Blacksmith been working with the hot metal for 8 yeas now. I do most modern forge work and try to learn something new everyday. I have my own workshop.
And now I want to learn more about sheet metal work. I have just tried a English wheel before. But worked some with sheet metal by hand. I will build a E-wheel, bead roller. And I am thinking about a planishing hammer to I know some machining and have tools for it. So I am her to look for plans the construction of the frame is no problem. But I am wondering what size of dies I should make first(what is most used). I know you have lots of reasons to have different bottom dies of course. But is it just good do it matter that the top wheel is big even if you are doing small work? And if I have the place to put a big one. Is there a point to make or have a small one also?
