Default An intro

Hi I'm Max, live in Broome Australia.
Like the idea of metal shaping but have never tried it, hoping to gain some knowledge through this site about where to start and what gear would be appropriate for me.
Have been building fun bikes like bendy bikes,backward pedal bikes and reverse steer bikes. My latest is a small rickshaw which I'm hoping to add some flare with shaped metal pieces. If this works I want to build a completely metal shaped bike.

Hi max welcome to allmetalshaping. The good news is that you can make just about anything with only hand tools. This is the way everyone should start because you will gain skills that you will use no matter how many machines you get.
