air mech new here
 
Hello, I'm a aviation structural mechanic mainly been working with aluminum for the last 27 years. now finally doing some work on my own classic cars and looking to learn more about working steel and auto body techniques. I stumbled on to this page after looking at and purchasing the "Wolf" shrinking disk only to find out I should have probably shopped around first. I guess I bought from the company who copied the original and someone said they had issue with "Wolfes". Guess I'll just hope it all turns out alright:)

thanks
 
Thanks for the welcome guys. Has anyone out there ever used a shrinking disk? I've had cases where I would have liked to use one on an aircraft skin but couldn't have for several reasons. I definitely have need of one for my boys El Camino now though.
