I am a hobbyist with an interest in shaping metal for motorcycle restorations. I am retired and interested in learning a new skill. This site caught my attention as a great place to start. I see already that there is a lot of valuable expertise here. Thank you for making it available for people like me.

Hi Bob,
I'm just south of you in Warrenton Va. and have a pretty well equipped shop with most of the shaping tools.

I have one of Peter Tomassini's new cast English Wheels which I highly recommend that you come take a look at if your considering a wheeling machine.

I also work mostly on motorcycle projects and have a bit of a collection of the old one's.

If you would like to visit the shop and talk metal shaping send me a Private message and I'll send back my contact information.

Hi Bob, welcome aboard.

jmho but you should get in the car and go see Capt Kirk's PT wheel asap. It's a fantastic piece of equipment. You won't regret it.
