Hi John, machines are great but it is best to learn to shape metal by hand to begin with so that you get a feel for how it works. The wheeling machine is not very intuitive and it is easier to shape the metal by hand gradually learning what the wheel does. One of the most important things to learn is how to join the metal so that you cause the least amount of distortion and have a weld that is easily dressed out because no matter how nice the sections of a panel are if the joints are not good it will not look good.
