Default Hello From New Zealand
Hi,
Just introducing myself to the forum. I've worked in a sheet metal shop many many years ago and I'm wanting to start trying a bit of metal shaping. I have a project in mind I'm currently researching and I'm getting started building a wheeling machine.

Thanks

James

Hi James - some great info and people on here.

Have a think about what sort of panels you want to make before committing to a design. I built my machine patterned on an NZ built Walker. Works OK for some of the stuff I've done so far (not very much yet, but coming) but it's a bit big for say motorcycle stuff.

There are alot of Kiwi`s here! Since I have been out of the country so long, maybe I don`t qualify? You know what they say, once a Kiwi, always a Kiwi...
