Hey there Shapers,
My name Max, living in Karlsruhe, Germany, and I joined this forum to get more information especially on wheeling machines and planishing hammers and experiences with them.
My father's got a custom bike workshop - speciallised on HD for over 30 years now (www.sscycle.de) - that's why I'm into all of this...
I'm an educated coachbuilder, spezialised on building not overhauling bodies.First I worked and learned in a custom bike workshop (www.habermann-performance.com), the last two years I restored old cars, most of them were pre-war (Maybach, Lancia, MB) or English craftsman shit.
At the moment I a master class for my sector and hopefully, after that I'm gonna travel the US and to work and learn alot about the American style of shaping metal and building vehicles.
Thank you, best regards,
Fred Flitzefuss

Welcome to the forum, funny you should travel to the USA to learn the 'English wheel', most of the top guys over there are either English or European or learned from them.

Here are some photos of English coachbuilding shit for you. Just a couple of jobs I did here in England.
