Default introduction

I'm working on a rusty Model A and hope to learn some metal shaping skills that will help me. I bought an English wheel and bead roller to start the process and am hoping to develop the skills I need to complete my project.

Hello Bob and welcome.

Learning to shape with hand tools should come first. Machines only allow you to make scrap faster.

What type of E wheel and bead roller did you buy?
