I don,t know if I wrote it right but a man was telling me about a old machine that would roll sheet metal.The way he described it was that you put the metal in it and press a lever with your foot and it pulled a ball down on the metal and you moved the metal around to form curves and bends. Does anybody know what I am talking about and where I could find some info about one ? Thanks

Another place to look at is Street Rodder magazine there is a monthly writing by the author named Ron Covell. He is known in the Street Rodder mag. as Professor Hammer. He has a number videos out on metal work. He may be reached by E-mail [email protected] or mail $1 to Covell Creative Metalworking, 106 Airport Blvd. , #201 , Freedom,Ca. 95019 for his catalog. The person mwkellner is refering to is Jesse James at West Coast Choppers. Thank You Joseph

I am building an English wheel next. E-bay sometime has a book on building and using English wheels. The tinman sells plans for them also and he give good advice and for time and money has 3 and 4 day classes in CA. Someone gave you his site on another post.

I saw a segment on Discovery Channel about a guy who made custom motorcycles and he used an English Wheel to make tanks and fenders

I saw a segment recently on one of the NASCAR shows that featured the guys who put the sheetmetal bodies on the cars. They were using english wheels, like you described, to form the sheetmetal into the shapes they wanted. Pretty neat to see. Looks simple, but I bet it takes quite a bit of practice to be as good at it as those guys are.

You can find some information on the English Wheel at the following sites.

Eastwood used to sell a book on metal working that included a section on the English Wheel, I don't know if they still carry it or not, you can search here.

Hope this helps Tom R

If you find that you would like one of these, it wouldn't hurt to scour your area for vocational training centers in your area at the high school or college level that may be having surplus equipment auctions. Some of these tools and equipment can be had super cheap, or if you can donate something in return, many times stuff can "disappear". Good luck.
