Hi!, Janne from Finland

[Janne]

Hi to everyone.I have been a "lurker" for a while,don´t know why,somehow i have felted,that when i joined here, i didn´t have much to give,so i kept just reading posts....I live in finland, and work in a car engine workshop,as a machinist/welder and thermal sprayer,mainly thermal sprayer.I am interested on bikes and cars..I have learned tuck shrinking & stump shrinking from this forum and Kerry´s dvd.It was a great feeling,when i realized,how the shrinking worked,when i first talked about tuck shrinking,at my work,everybody sayed i am nuts, and it can´t be done...not anymore.I have builded a helve (copy of Jim Bailie´s),with adjustable eccentric,and old sewing machine motor, and dies for it,including steel thumbnail dies, three different sizes. I can try to take some pictures from it....thatway i finally have something to give back to this forum.

sorry about the typing errors....

Welcoms Janne!
If you copied Jim Bailie's helve hammer, then, you have a nice machine
