Even the embossed scallops on the inner fender was done with 1/8 x 1/2" flat stock and a hammer, then finished off with a hammer and dolly. All flanges are tipped by hand as I have never had the pleasure of using a tipping wheel.

It was a lot of work, but hand tools can get the job done too. I have finally acquired 3 x 5 tubing to make a small English wheel, so I hope to have more fun with you guys on here soon.

Very nice to see that was all done with hand tools as they will be my starting point until I can get some proper tools built.
