Hello Folks,
My name is John, living in the UK and I am new to metal shaping. I want to learn how to make fuel tanks for motorcycles and i need your help. I have spent my working life working to .25mm (although I'm sure you guys do too) and I need to stop and learn how to make things that are more tactile and free flowing. I started my working life as a Blacksmith so I've some experience of hitting things with hammers, but not necessarily in the right place. Keen as mustard (as we say). John

Hi John and welcome to the best metalshaping place on the Interweb to learn stuff. My dad was a farrier from Worksop... I have every confidence that your blacksmithing skills will directly transfer to sheetmetal. Have a look at what Marcus (Gojeep) is doing and if I remember correctly, he was a Farrier in a previous life. We love photo sequences of the process - triumphs and failures alike, as something can be learned in every case. Make some scrap!
