We offer Private Metal Shaping & Fabrication training by request. This is intended for those who may have a project, or part of a project that they would like to bring in to the shop for assistance. It is also ideal for those who want to further their skills in a very specific area, or who may just need some "refresher" shop time.
Private training is offered as schedule permits, and there is a three-hour minimum. Materials, as necessary, are charged in addition to the hourly rate. Tuition is $75 per hour for one student, $125 per hour for two students. No more than two students may attend at one session.
When you sign up / enroll, please submit 3 potential dates (with times, preferably) that will work for you. Please check these dates against our regular class schedules, because those are black out dates for private training. Many students, however, chose to enroll in a scheduled class and add a day, usually at the end of the class session for indivdual, private training.
If you have questions about private training, or want to check availability, please contact us here

This unique design from MetalAce is a great mid-sized wheel. It is well suited for heavy forming, and yet sized to fit perfectly in small shops. The 3-leg design includes rubber feet for a steady grip on all floors, while the retractable handle and tip-back casters allow easy mobility. A great on-the-go metal forming machine; perfect for racing needs, coachbuilding, hot-rod building, vintage aircraft restoration, and sculpture work. The sturdy jack mechanism offers a quick-release anvil yoke and precision alignment adjusters. The easy to use alignment adjusters make quick work of truing the anvil to the top wheel, as well as offsetting the lower anvil for reverse curve and edging operations.
The MetalAce 30F Classic Series English Wheel is made in the USA with pride, using heavy wall tubular construction. The machine is powder-coated for a professional, durable finish.
INCLUDES:
(6) 3 inch wide anvil wheels: Flat, 2.5, 3.75, 6.0, 12.0, and 24.0 inch radii
(1) 8 x 3 inch upper wheel
Warranty: 1 year manufacturer's warranty

Ron brings his signature easy-to-follow style using the English wheel, a machine notoriously difficult for beginners to figure out.
Demonstrations are given on a broad range of machines from a cast iron 'monster' to a tiny C-clamp.
This comprehensive film includes the machine's history as well as a clear explanation of principles that enable the machine to move metal. Ron shows basic tracking patterns that are used to shape panels of various sizes and configurations.
In addition to common wheeling techniques, Ron also shows some less well-know processes, such as using a rubber top wheel and embossing with the machine.
Whether you are brand new to the English wheel or an experienced user you will find lots valuable information!
