My name is Dean i am interested in all metal shaping as i have finally built an english wheel
i cant wait to have a go on it ,i have a few plans to put it to good use.
I would like to build a half scale Nascar for my two boys but they are growing up faster than i could imagine ,so i guess i better get cracking.
I work in the movies doing special effects and vehicles so i have a very interesting job,and have been working on Mad Max 4 (Fury Road)
I look foward to gaining some skills on the wheel

cheers Dean Franklin

Dean, welcome and thanks for the introduction. Hope you find the site helpful and enjoyable. Thanks for joining us.

Hey Dean,
Welcome, I like the idea of the half scale nascar and I have to say I'm a massive mad max fan!! I'm jealous.

Hi Dean

Welcome! I do the same type of work as you, specialising mostly in mechanical rigs. I have done cameo effects for a couple of European and local movies, but my bread and butter is in TV commercials.

This friendly forum is brilliant for learning how to shape metal.
