Hi from New Zealand
Hi guy's, I'm Daryll from New Zealand, an engineer by trade.. started from rebuilding a 70's Holden for a first car and learning how to mig weld to fix the rusted panels to keep it on the road, last few years I've made some simple panel repair sections with folds and curves and wanted to learn more about forming shape into flat sheet metal.
Just got old panel beating hammers and panel dolly's, I've been gather the parts to build a bead roller. Will start with making a tucking fork, buy a leather shot bag and maybe a shrinker/stretcher.. decide between a planishing hammer or English wheel, build or buy, the tool hunting/building never stops, cheers

Hey guys, thanks, started looking at all the thread info sections now I've been given the green light.
Last rust repair sections on my old Hilux I used mig wire and my inverter tig welder, started looking at weld planishing info and videos on youtube for metal finishing a panel. Always disliked grinding mig welds so just tig weld most stuff now.
