Stephen from Fort Worth(Benbrook)
I was born and raised in Ft Worth and grew up with a family dedicated to doing it yourself. My dad's side of the family were all wood workers and construction workers and i ended up being the only mechanic/metal worker. I started mechanicing professionally in 2003 and became an ASE double master certified tech in 2006. Iv been an automotive and diesel mechanic but Im a natural gas compressor mechanic now and have been for 4 years.
I have a friend of mine down the road that builds hoods and fenders for older cars and I have really been wanting to get into metal shaping. I was searching info on how to build an english wheel and came across this site. I look forward to being able to read through the site and better understand english wheel theory. Thanks Stephen

Hi Stephen welcome to the forum. The wheeling machine is a wonderful tool, once you know how to use it you can do all sort of panels and other stuff with it, I have 3 of them in my shop, I bought my first one in 1975
