Default German guy from sweden says hello

Hello everybody,
my real name is Silvio Kühnast, i was born 1971 in east-germany. five years ago i moved to sweden. i am addicted to earlystyled handmade bobbers and choppers. to start with metalshaping was just the next logical step. some magazinearticels got me in the right direction, bought some books and the fire was on. build my own english wheel and some other tools as well. it,s reall fun. right now i fabricate a oiltank for my harley-davidson flathead.
schönheit der arbeit means beauty of labour.
best regards
silvio

thanks for the nice comments,
some off the homemade tools i will show to you later, in a extrathread.
and here are some other pictures from my shop, its used to be a butcherchop, before i moved in. i am pretty happy, that i found this place. running water, heating, a toilet, near downtown, tooldealers, bearingshop and carpartssupply nearby.
and david, i don´t own a extra harley davidson, i wish i hade some more too, because i like so many different styles, to many ideas in my head.
but i acctually know 2 big flatheads for sale, one here in karlstad- sweden and the other one in germany. both aren´t cheap... want to know more, send a pm
