Salut Patrick, i am in Laval.

If you are a good fabricator you can make your own Wheeling machine frame. I did, but the heart of it is the wheels and if you want beautiful polished finishes you want hardened, ground wheels, which are easiest to buy. I went this way and I am happy with the result. You could make your own if you are short of cash, but they have to be very accurately made.

What sort of pullmax machine do you have.

I have buy a homemade plan for building a pullmax style from desert hydrid site. I have just started it.

I built the desert hybrid planishing hammer. It works well. Peter has a good point that learning the basics with hand tools is important. Otherwise the machines will simply allow you to make scrap really fast

Hello Patrick and welcome. I agree with Peter and Scott. Learn to move metal with hand tools only first. Watch Peter on U-Tube or better yet buy his tapes.

Yeah good idea, I will try this first but what the basis tool I need to start ? A sand bag and 2-3 mallet like there sell on eastwood !?

Hello Patrick:

Harbor Freight has two tear drop hammers for much less.

You can make yourself a usable sand bag out of an old leather purse from the thrift store. Fill it with sand and off you go.

Try making a blister and turn the flange by hand.

Do you have the DOM tubing yet? I special ordered it, then I decided to build a different machine. I also have a couple of the bearings you will need. I can give you a great deal on them. Send me a private message.
