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. Scott

Hi Patrik welcome to the forum
Using machine tools is fine. . but in order to understand how metal works it would be a good idea to learn using hand tools first Peter

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.

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. Jere
