  Wanted to take the time to say thank you for the education through your wonderful videos. After 30 plus years of wanting to do metal work on my own to compliment my hobby of restoring and building old Harley’s, I finally stepped off on the journey this year and put together a shop and started purchasing the tools to get me started in metal work. Your videos have given me a lot of guidance and encouragement. I started out on a harbor freight English wheel to build some fenders and I immediately ran into the problems you described with the bottom adjuster and etc. would love to be able to get your plans for the conversion on that wheel. Looked on Pro Shaper but could not find them. Would love to purchase some plans as well on converting an English wheel to a tipping wheel. I think your tipping wheel is a much better option than a bead roller for putting a ridge or spine down the middle of a motorcycle fender. My skill level is not quite there to cut a fender in half and bead roll the inside edge and weld back together like some do. If you ever start doing weekend or week long classes again I would like to attend. Though I wish I could, swinging a month off work just is not a possibility. Once again thanks for putting out this great content and giving us hobbyist a place to enjoy your sharing of knowledge and teaching skills. <br><br>Dwayne McBryde<br>Conroe, Texas

  Thanks for no music. I would way rather listen to the sound of metal being worked.

  I&apos;m a high school student in Korea dreaming of becoming a custom builder. Your video is my Bible. I&apos;m definitely going to visit your shop and learn from you in the future!

  Great video I was remembering back to the sixties when I first started playing around modifying cars for myself and friends,no training at all ,I learnt to weld the hard way ,buy a stick welder and a gas setup and away I went blundering my way while I learnt and anyone that did it the same ,you bore the costs of mistakes that taught you to think about saving material and consumables. Now closing on the 80s and always wishing I had learnt how all those years ago.<br>Yours and others are great teachers even without the hands on ,ya just gotta look,listen and take the time.<br>GTEAT Vidios 👍👍✅✅🇦🇺
