My name is Pat and I live in Rockford, MI. I am relatively new to metal shaping and have an Auburn / Duesy project that I am building. I Hope to learn more about how to make the panels properly that I will need for my project. I also would like to see how others make their panels and which tools they use. I am interested in purchasing the best tool for the job and hope to get input from the group.

Thanks for the welcome everyone, I will try and post some pictures, should be in the shop today for awhile. I was up way too late reading the forum last night. LOL Lots of good information. I believe I may be interested in building a Pullmax type machine, would like to discuss further.

Welcome Pat. I'm hosting the event here in Hastings Mi. this weekend. We are very full right now. I have a homebuilt Pullmax style tool with a fixed stroke and tool lift mechanism that might interest you. It is not really for sale but you may find some inspiration in what it does. We can talk about it. PM me or call 269-948-9474 9 to 5 Wed -Fri.
