Hi, I am Steve from central Texas, Austin area. I am ready to learn the art of metal fabrication, been doing body work for over 25yrs.
So looking to build most of the tools and want to start with an English Wheel.

Welcome to the list Steve.

The list is a great resource, in my case a lot of "oh, that is what I was doing wrong.... "

I was replacing wheel seals on rear of my 3/4 ton truck yesterday.... and kept thinking the axle shaft would be a nice part of a English wheel. Decided I better put the truck back together first.

Hello Steve and welcome to this site.

Look for some of the machines that Rick has built. You are surely to get some new and innovative ideas from his builds.
