Hi Steve
I am glad to hear your are happy with your new Wheel. After having experienced the feel of both cast and fabricated wheels I knew that I needed to come up with a wheel suitable for both beginners and experienced metalshapers. To me, to be able to "feel "the wheel is the secret of good, quick wheeling with good results and that is what I have tried to incorporate in the design and composition of material used to make the wheel. Most importantly I am glad to hear that the wheel has actually helped to improve your metalshaping skills. Peter

There has been a small delay in this fifth shipment of Peters wheeling machines, as Peter has been suffering from issues with his back. He has also informed me that the foundry where the machines are cast is being sold in the near future to make way for new development. There is still a wheeling machine available on this last shipment. PM me or look here for more info. regarding acquiring one of Peters wheeling machines.
http://www.mantiquesresto.com/RestoredItems/Tommasini/TommasiniWheel.html I want to thank the administrators and the many contributors on this Allmetalshaping site for allowing and participating in the ongoing discussion of the different uses and methods of the different styles of wheeling machines. It provides us with input from around the world from those established metal shapers to those of us wanting to learn this lost art. The wheeling machine is one of the oldest and certainly the most used metal shaping tool aside from the hammer, and input from those like Kerry Pinkerton, Kent White and Peter Tommasini provide an array of approaches that allows us to determine what our own style is, and preferences are for our machine of choice. THANKS GUYS!

Peter has notified me that this most recent shipment is scheduled to be picked up for export in the next 10 days. There is only one wheeling machine left on this shipment, so if you have an interest this would result in the least amount of waiting time. To make a deposit send by PayPal $1700 to wildcad@comporium.net (send as friends and family so that I can forward that entire amount directly to Peter.)
You can PM me for more details, or email me at wildcad@comporium.net Here is a link to more info: http://www.mantiquesresto.com/Restor...siniWheel.html

Sad to hear that the foundry is being sold Peter. Hope you are able to find another one to continue your machines and other items.

All six of the Peter Tommasini wheeling machines have been sold and are on their way to South Carolina. For those of you that have purchased one of these, please make sure that I have your contact info, and let me know which of you might need to have them crated and shipped. Hoosier Profiles will be notified of those acquisitions, and will be sure to have complete sets available.
