Default Hi from Sweden
Hi,
My name is Ove Sponton, and I live in Sweden. I've been fiddling with metal shaping for a couple of years, learning more and more all the time. The first project that started it all was when I tried to do a motorcycle gas tank after being inspired by Ron Cowell's DVD, "alushaping w handtools" (I believe thats what it is called).

It turned out well enough to get me hooked. So I continued with fenders and the seat. Since then I've done some more projects. I find it very fascinating what you actually can do in metal, how much shape you can put into it. I'm still on an "enthusiastic amateur" level though.

Hi Silvio,
I live in Trosa close to Stockholm, some 350 km from you I believe.
Found some more pictures of stuff I've done:

This one was done sort of freehand based on pictures on an Alfa Romeo 8c2300 Monza

My first project, the gastank on the bike, was done mid 2007 so I have had a couple of years to waste some aluminium
