Thanks for not playing music, as you are teaching. Thank You.
First Eastwood video I've ever watched that doesn't have annoying thrash metal going constantly in the background. Nice video.
Hey now... we just like metal around here. But we hear you, we have been trying less music or less aggressive tunes 🎵
Yep to all those commenting on your terrific video. Best I can recall.
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.
I agree completely!
just subscribed, learned so much in the first 5 minutes alone.
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+++++.
Brilliant tutorial. The Mr. Rogers of metalworking!
What a guy! The most straightforward demo on the English wheel ever, clear and clever. Simply the best. 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.
Thanks. Mike is great to work with shooting these videos. We'll be doing more with him soon.

@@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.
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.
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 🇬🇧
Great to hear!
Nice lesson Mike. It's all about a logical approach combined with dedication and work. I hope you'll do more!
Never to old to learn,thank you for sharing your knowledge , you are a great tutor!
Really nice job showing the various uses. This was helpful!
Excellent instruction Mike! Hope to see more on forming.

Amazing work. Mike sure does know his wheel veryyyy well.
Love to watch an artist at work. Excellent!
Great presentation! I always wondered how to use one of these when I see them at "a local store".
Thank you!
Great job on this video. Very informative!
Good vid and tips on the wheel. Ill be using that trick on tipping the die to form an edge and reverse curve. Awesome Job.
thanks buddy, well presented, very easy to follow.
Excellent demonstration, Mike.
For my new job at porsche were going to use the English wheel. This is a superb explanation on how to use it...!
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
Very good indeed. As z young man I was lucky enough to watch skilled tin workers do this.
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!
Very well explained, thanks for the video Eastwood
Amazing presentation! Going to review this video 2 or 3 times then start practicing on English wheel.
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.
This is awesome, i really enjoyed your techniques.
This was really really great! Keep up the good work!💎💎👌
Very good job fantastique. . ..,bon travail merveilleux
Great educational vedio, best I've seen,,,much better then the other eastwood guys
That’s an amazing How to...very instructive thanks a lot!!!
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!
he is a MASTER! Thanks for watching!
Extremely well explained skill...thank you
This is a stellar video!! Thank you so much!!
This is the best explanation i have ever seen.
Awesome , God bless you man.
You are wonderfull.This is very good.Thank you very much.(in İstanbul)
Awesome video. Thank you
This is a fantastic tutorial!
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!
VERY GOOD INFO that I haven't seen in other vids.
We were taught to use kerosene on the panel to keep track of where the wheeling goes on the panel,great instruction thank you.
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 freaking video...learned a ton...love the rubber band gimmick
People pay for talent and patience for this.
Is that a green VW beetle decklid I spy in the background lol great video! Thanks for the instruction!
Great video. Greeting's from Costa Rica
Wot an amazing vid cheers helps me so much
Great job
Thanks for this!!!
Thanks mate..super good!
The templates for plywood bucks available for sale on sights like Etsey are a very great and affordable way to start metal shaping
This video demonstrates that a talented metal shaper can intentionally form sheet metal on even a crappy wheel.
Very good tutorial, thanks William Orange county, ca. 😆😆
Muito bom roda inglesa fãs um bom trabalho
Best English Wheel video on TH-cam - thanks Mike! Quick question: what material and thickness are you using in the demonstration?
We shot this a few years ago, but I think he was using 20 gauge.
I wish I had an English 30 years ago they were unaffordable back then i'm finally getting one
That was great
go mike go!
Great demos. How thick are the aluminum panels being used?
Excelent.
Infinity likes for you
artistic or what well done
Very nice job, Mike. You really know your subject.
Thank you for skipping an annoying music track.
can you make a video on how to good tension ?
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.
When I try using the rubber band on my E-wheel, I still get some crowning from front to back. Am I doing something wrong?
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.
To lessen the flexing, you can weld the brackets to the arms after it's bolted together.
valuable video - can one phone this person for fabrication? - thanks
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 ?
How large of a sheet of metal would you recommend someone wheeling by themselves.
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.
Cual es el espesor de las láminas metálicas que se trabajan???
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
I do have a question, what does one do about all the work hardening and resultant brittleness that can develop in these panels?
You have to anneal the panel from time to time if it gets too hard to shape. This is required mostly when working with aluminum.
Idomake mild steel doesnt work harden enough to worry about during the process. Working with brass or aluminum annealing should be done
LUBE THAT WHEELS PLEASE!
jishimoari I think that was the rubber band rubbing.
jishimoari its from the pressure on the work piece. The work piece working against both wheels is causing the squeak
jishimoari thats why the squeak goes away when he started using the rubber band.
does the small anvil has a flat contact area in the center?
Yes, the top anvils can be swapped out for dies with varying radii
ok for diy projects but that box section steel tube frame really flexes badly , thats why the old english wheel frames where cast iron
I have heard that anyone that gets their fingers pinched in one of those only does so ONE TIME.
30 people have no idea what this video is about lol
Smallest English wheel I’ve seen.
Not to take anything away from you but the movement in that so called home built piece of shit of a English wheel has way to much movement in it.
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.
Please wear gloves
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
