Hi guys,

My names Andrew and I’m a metaholic

I run a small custom fabrication shop (automotive) in Perth Western Australia.
I do a lot of structural steel work and most of my sheet metal work to date has been by hand. I’ve kind this forum as there’s a severe lack of English wheels available to buy so I’m going to be making my own based on Hoosier profiles wheel and anvils and it appears there’s a wealth of knowledge here to help make that happen

Hi Neil,

yeah i have seen it as an option, along with the motor retro one, have also enquired about importing a justin baker..

still weighing up my options.

theres very little reviews or videos showing any of them in action which is what lead me here

Welcome to the forum, Andrew.

I'll add my vote for one of Peter's Hand Built English Wheels. It's pretty fantastic. Zero regrets. jmho.
