Hello from Houston

[btd]

Hello everyone. Brian here in Houston. Hoping to learn about metal shaping and maybe even how to fix a dent. I played around with this a little in the late 60's but the results were horrible. Now I've got a little more patience and want to try it again. Main obstacle seems to be the cost of the tools....english wheels, planishing hammers, power hammers, shrinker/stretcher, dolly's, hammers, picks, aaaaaah. Looks like it's just south of 10 grand to get into the game. I'm hoping you'll show me that's not the case.
