Subscribed: its a nice feeling to build something yourself if ya can, nice job.
That isn't really blacksmithing, it is?
I call that stuff tin knocking.
Nice work!
You need to switch your iPad to English. I was impressed that nearly everyone under 50 years old in Holland speaks English. Dutch kind of sounds like the Plattdeutsch that my grandfather spoke, but I can't understand much of it.
I would call this tinsmithing...
blacksmithing can be found at Ironton Forge, my personal website. And yes, theres a 40 in progress on my site as well.

Yes, i agree, but as the last few months would have it, i have been taking small jobs like this in my shop to fill the voids, well paying for the time it takes. Less an less 15 million dollar homes are being built around here, none the less, a repair to a fuel tank inbetween a chandalier and 140' of handcrafted railing shouldnt demote my blacksmith skills or title.
ANVIL.......very nice work on your website
WAITING FOR TIME........great fab skills on your flares......i see some similarity

This is what I use to get the corners in, shrinker/strecher and hammer and iron.

Just curious on this picture:
If you tuck the rear tire in via a rock or bump, it looks like it'd connect with the inner body pretty quickly. Not much room for error. Are you going to be going to narrower tires or a spacer to push the tire out a bit to account for this?

It just looks like that but your looking at a clamp in front of the camera lens. The distance is the same as original.
