After specifically wanting a cast iron English wheel for decades, I can honestly say I had never touched metal to any wheel before using a Tommasini English wheel last fall soon after I ordered mine. within two days (1 day wheeling from flat to unflat to flat to learn control and then making shape on purpose on day 2 with only blocking hammer, stump and wheel) I had made an accurate part that fit, ready to trim and weld into place.

It's what you imagine "the right tools" can do when you finally get them, even in the hands of a metal novice like me. It isn't magic, but it's not hype either. It was highly recommended to me and it was not misrepresented.

Don't get me wrong. I have a lot to learn. Having a legit world class tool like his cast frame wheel in my shop will certainly be a big help. Very, very cool...

Thanks again, Peter and Will.
