Over the past several years, I have watched every wheeling video i can find, bought videos from the "masters", attended workshops to learn more about wheeling. Your video offered more information, and new information than all those that have gone before. Altogether, an excellent presentation. The explanations of why the metal reacts the way it does was brilliant, and not presented previously to my knowledge. Well done, Mike! And thanks to Eastwood for taking the considerable time to film, edit and present this video.
You are a BRILLIANT tutor Mike. This is the first time any of this stuff makes sense to me. Seriously.... A really BIG thank you for your time and efforts. Wonderful video. AAAAA+++++.
I'm so very impressed with this video! I've never used any sheet metal fabrication equipment, but have been a welder/ fabricator for over 40 years. I have always dreamt of building hot rods and Motorcycles when I retire,because life and family has been my priority. retirement is only a hop skip and a jump away and I'm going to do it! your videos are getting my psyched and giving me a great pre-schooling. thank you thank you.
Mike, guys like you really grind my gears. Obviously a brilliant craftsman (no makeup department can produce hands that look like those, they only come from lots of close contact with what is known as "work"). That's not good enough for you though. Your on camera presence and delivery are just as flawless as your sheet metal. Watching you do this makes even a "ham hands" like me think "I could do that". You really put the lie to the idea that "young guys aren't interested in craftsmanship that takes decades to master". Watching you work is informative, interesting and entertaining. Thanks so much for such good work. All that said, I don't want to forget the people helping. First rate videos like this take an entire team, their work shows here too. Really good craft videos are really hard to find, these are some of the best.
@@eastwoodcoyes. It’s nice that the music isn’t playing while he’s explaining things. I don’t have to crank up the volume and disturb others in my home to simply learn how a machine works.
Young man, YOU are a TEACHER...the facts are shared clear and without confusion. Your knowledge and understanding is obvious and your presentation is professional and easy to comprehend. I learned more in a short time from you than any other video online. I am motivated to buy the equipment and try metal shaping. I also know, the good ones make the difficult look easy, but I want to give it a shot. GREAT JOB SIR!
Excellent, clear concise and informative lesson. I found this extremely educational (as you are obviously very skilled) but really appreciate the clear video work and the demonstration of the technique in real time and detail. Thanks a lot!
Really good video. Wasn't getting the results before, but using your tips and tricks has been a game changer. I have definitely saved this video and subscribed to your channel 🇬🇧
Awesome instructional video. Your high level of expertise makes it look easy. First view of your video. Will continue to view your videos. Will work with English wheel today.
Superb job! Great instructional video. I was in the trades for many years when young, now in education, but a lifelong shop enthusiast. You could enlighten some of our professors in our (major university) college of education about teaching methodology.
Great video young man i have learned something know today from you and i say thanks young brother..great job explaining and showing how to use this equipment and you have done a great job thanks
Mike, Excellent video. I've just acquired a small English Wheel and the techniques you demonstrated got me going quickly. The last piece you made with the reverse curve is just what I'm looking for on the bonnet of my car project - I'll need a bigger wheel. Thanks for the time and effort...great delivery!
at 19:00 mins into the video , he shows how to set a body line. I tried this on a door skin I made, it created the body line OK, but it also flattened the panel along the body line. I lost shape and also caused some distortion in the surrounding area. I tried fixing it but , when I wamts getting anywhere, I got frustrate , lost my temper and made it worse. I will have to start with a new panel all over again , but I worried I won't get that body line to work . Does anyone have any ideas ?
When you pull the workpiece out, and the wheels clunk together, do you run the risk of denting or dimpling them, causing them not to work as well??? I've never used one.
Why is the upper wheel loose. It falls down when the panel is removed from the wheel and the panel has to pick it up when you start with the panel inserting.
Good video, I've never seen one used before, why does the top wheel arm(?) flex? I mean there are 9 bolts holding it to the upright and that short lever arm shouldn't flex that much.
I do not speak any language but English... But according to Google you asked what the metal thickness is. This is .063" Aluminum. Also common would be 18g or 19g Steel. The rest of the world calls is 1.6mm aluminum or 1.1mm steel
To make it completely rigid, you can weld the spots where the arms connect to each other. Most English Wheels must be shipped via freight, which is very expensive. This was designed to be a larger wheel, but ship at a low cost. That means it bolts together. Simply welding the connection points will make it very sturdy and improve the performance.
i cower to your superior metal shaping skills =) also ~ you nibble your fingernails ? P.s. did you just bare metal the car coz if i scotch bright a panel it'll have a sheen of rust in 24 hours
