The one along side the car is the box-pan folder, you can fold sheet metal to whatever angle then then turn the metal 90deg to do another fold &
your first fold goes between the teeth of the machine. You can move the teeth about to suit the work. I've got a one that does 6ft lengths upto
1.6mm, very handy peice of kit.
The guillotine (The one that looks like an upright piano) would be nice, not got one & it'd save a lot of grinding discs! I'd like the
swager too, more useful than the guillotine really for stiffening panels & the like.
Real shame if he wont use em & wont sell them either!

Much as I would love that stuff, I really don't have a place for it.
Fortunately, a friend of a friend has the most well equipped workshop you could ever imagine, so for very occasional guilotining and folding work (up
to 8ft I think) I am sorted.
Stuff like that whilst not exactly a life saver, does make something of a difference.

Yeah, just for mucking about with cars they'd be a bit overkill but if you do a bit metalwork like I do then they make a massive difference.

I "rescued" a 5 foot x 3" set of pyramid rolls the other day that were heading for the scrappy.
The plan is to cut them down to a metre long to increase their capacity.
Should be a useful addition to the tool collection.
Now where can I fit them in? 
Cheers

Hey I'll have the FTO gladly, did me well on a couple of the Gran Turismo games. I'd even have an MX5 on the same basis despite it being a
girly car (even the missus says so!)
