Hi all, Greg here.
Years ago I bought an English wheel for a "once only" job , finished the job with the help of a tradesman coach builder and sold the wheel on.
I am still racing that car after 38 seasons!!
Since then I have been doing jobs with a bossing hammer, shot bag and hand planishing hammers.
Now I have another job in the wings but am having a lot of trouble finding a nice vintage cast iron English wheel so I intend to fabricate one and this seems like the place where the answers to all my questions might be already lurking!!
Heres hoping ,
cheers Greg
