New to Metal Shaping
Hello,
I own a fabrication shop in San Diego, CA. I mostly build 1/4 mile drag cars. The occasional street rod but mostly drag cars. I also own a CNC mill and fabricate most of what I need in house. I'm currently building a bellytanker for Bonneville and am in need of sheet-metal work. (English wheel & power hammer) I have been subbing this work out in the past but am not happy with the turn-around time I've been getting. So I decided to build my own hammer, that's how I came upon this site. Seems a lot of people want to build Yoder style hammers but info (dimensions, parts, etc...) and what to actually build are difficult to come by. Hopefully there will be someone here to help guide us beginners. I would also like to offer my services to those that may need it. Regards, Mike

Welcome Mike!
I'd recommend you start with some hammers and a wheel before you go for the power hammer, but if that floats your boat go for it  .
