Default Introduction from Frank in the Isle Of Man

Hi Everyone, My name is Frank, I am 53 and live in Foxdale in the Isle Of Man in the UK. I am a panel beater and paint sprayer and served my time in a local Datsun dealership back when I was 15. I have experience repairing insurance total loss crash damage to full restoration on many vintage, classic and modern vehicles and bikes. I have worked with all general basic sheet metal fabrication, welding and coach work over the years but have only limited experience using a English wheel and no experience using a power hammer.
I have joined the All Metal Shaping community in the hope of learning to make advanced panels and metal shaping in general using the English wheel and power hammer and for the wealth of knowledge available on everything metal shaping. I hope to be able to contribute a little as well as learn a lot.
Thanks. Frank
