Default newb - ZERO metal shaping skills!

have no good tools, and zero experience. I am a union pipefitter, have some certs so typical welding is not a problem......only thing is - I have never truly learned to shape metal. here to start off with basics like what is a good beginner/intermediate bead roller and english wheel and learn to make some nice pieces for my cars. looking forward to learning from you all
