Hi Roan, Welcome to the forum, A wheeling machine is a great tool but there is a lot involved in shaping panels. I always advise people to shape some panels by hand using hollowing hammers or bossing mallets (depending on the material) because it is much more intuative to form a panel like that and it gives you a feel for where you have to hit the metal to get the shape you want. Then when you use a wheel it becomes more obvious where to wheel to get a given shape. In basic terms where you would have hit more with a hammer, you wheel more. Learning hand forming will be invaluable on every job.
