G/Day All,
I've just discovered the site and had to join.
I'm from an engineering backround (Maintenance Fitter) with an interest in cars mostly from the 50's to the early 70's. I have been slowly expanding my range of hand tools and am about to build an english wheel. So any help or previous threads would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
MIke

Hi Mike there are quite a few guys on here from Australia. Dave (above) is one of them. I am sure you will find info on here that will help you. There are several threads on building wheeling machines. Just do a search.
