New to Group Hi from down under !!

[John Moss]

Hi , I am a retired Fitter Turner Welder By trade, I live in New Zealand, in a small town called Paerata south of the City of Auckland.I like to make my own gear , eg, English wheel , power hammer , forge and a whole lot of other hand tools . I build parts for hot rods and custom bikes, I have a 1946 Chevrolet pickup that I am working on. I want to make a 4 ft finger sheet metal brake .

I finished my two burner forge a few weeks ago and am about 80% done with my Appalachian power hammer. The Jerry Allen Helve hammer version. Here's a shot of the forge and the backbone of the hammer. I sure could use a sheet metal brake too.
