Here is an update with the English Wheel build. Our volunteer Frank welded it all together and is adding the adjusters next week. Once this is completed we will have the full build video soon where we show how to build this magnificent machine at home!

Wow.. my eyes seriously light up to see your workshop! Everyone in this day & age is quick to buy a cheap tool for the task at hand.. we are in a generation of "one time use" everything! It's nice to still see a company take tremendous pride @ craftsmanship in their tools as well as their business. More importantly.. a tool that will definitely.. without a single bit of doubt.. pay for itself 100 fold in a lifetime & still work flawlessly in 100 years from now! Not many companies left like this.
Wray, you do great videos. I'm retired 78 years old but enjoy your vids very much.
The design is simple and elegant as all good design should be mother nature is a good example 👍
Thanks Sean!
Thank you for going through the trouble to document the details on this build. Can't wait to see the finished product, buy some prints and build an English wheel! Keep the builds coming please. I love that you share so many ideas on getting amazing results without high end equipment along with ways to build your own tooling. 👍
Hi Jason, Funny story: I started in the collector car buisness/hobby when i was 12 in 1963 working at my step grandfather's resoration shop which I lived next door to. He was of the great Depression generation- very cheap. We restored 1930s Packards , Rolls, Bentleys, Auburns, specializing in J Duesenbergs. I worked for him for 12 years. We worked with almost no tools, he was too cheap to buy anything. We didn't even have a bending brake. So when I finally left to go off on my own the first tool I made was a 52" bending brake made from an I beam. I never considered buying one I just assumed that because my grandfather never had one they must be too expensive so I never priced them. That brake worked very well and it got me started on the road of building tools.
Can't wait to see you finish the mechanisms for this and then start the ruffle machine!
👍👍. I look forward to this and future tools!
This is going to be a fun series. Thanks for sharing Wray.
Looks like I got a new weekend plan! Awesome can’t wait to build this and start messing around
Thanks Wray constantly amazed by your generosity, best apprenticeship on the interweb!
this build is all ready getting quoted on many other sites ,, quite right too.

The frame looks great, excited to see the series and mechanism for sale.
Great video, can't wait to see this evolve!
For the top wheel on mine i bought a semi steel/cast iron wheel off a skip bin you can get them as low as $40 and in different widths and sizes takes about half an hour of machining but they last a long time without marking and cheaper then getting a big billet then machining forever then hardening it the getting it ground
Thanks Wray
Can’t wait!
Imagine a whole shop full of Wray Schelin designed tools...
Hi Danny, I have one!!! HA.
Looking forward to the tool build series. Do you sell the anvils on your site? I could not find them.
I'm not offering the anvils right now, I will be very soon. Thanks
The number one thing is it's made in the USA 👍👍😎.
Unless you make it in the UK 😂
