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!

The MetalAce 44F U-weld English Wheel Kit
This kit provides all the components necessary to build the popular 44F, a go-anywhere wheeling machine to meet all your metal shaping needs. Use the supplied blueprints to build a replica of our frame, or add your own creativity and customize your frame and use our high quality wheels and components.
The included screw lift assembly has a quick-release cam mechanism that lowers the anvil yoke with a 90 degree rotation of the handle. This makes it easy to get the material out and return back to the original pressure setting, plus the anvils can be changed quickly in this fashion. The anvil yoke has precision adjustments on both sides of the axle support to true the anvil with the top wheel. (Material for the frame is not included.)
Check out the wheel designed by Jeff Fournier and built by one of our workshop students using this kit!
INCLUDES:
(6) 3 inch wide anvil wheels: Flat, 2.5, 3.75, 6.0, 12.0, and 24.0 inch radii
8 x 3 inch upper wheel
Jack, kick wheel, yoke, and hardware

Our DEEP REACH anvil is perfect for wheeling in confined areas! Also especially helpful for for making small shapes, such as the tight end of a tear drop blister. It's also great for turning an edge.
Makes an otherwise tricky job a snap! It's a great choice for important secondary operations that make the difference between getting that special project 'done' and 'done right'!
Overall size is 2" wide x 3-½" in diameter with a raised 3/4" rad. center section. The shoulder dia. is 1-5/8" to allow maximum clearance. Anvil has pressed-in sealed bearings and a ½" steel axle.
Note: Compatible with Fournier QuickShaper & QuickShaper Mark II
