Default G'day from W.A.

Greetings my name is Geoff, I am from Western Australia, I have slowly been building a 37 chevy pickup hotrod. In the process I have ended up building an English Wheel, Shop Dog inspired reciprocating machine, Shop press, small bender, powered bead roller and well you get the picture, sheet metal doesn't bend itself does it?
Anyway I have just got access to a Trumpf cn701 copy nibbler that has been sitting idle at my local metal fabricator, they have had it for ten years and used it once.
I have cleaned off the 10 year old inch thick dust, refilled the empty sump for the crank and figured out the speed, stroke length and tool limit controls.
But unfortunately it only has a couple of tools and I am on quest to make louvers.
So, I am here to find pullmax/trumpf louver die via angle grinder and welder guidance.
