I've done Geoff's one week wheeling course. Best course I've ever been on, he's an excellent tutor and doesn't constantly peer over your shoulder. If you're an aspiring metal shaper do it. He has students come from all over the world.
I love watching an expert metalworker. Obviously one of the best, and a good teacher as well. There is an awful lot to take in when you are starting out. What have I learned so far? Patience and perseverance, and attention to detail. I've been into cars for a long time, and have always enjoyed the voluptuous curves designers have put into them. We men are hard wired to be attracted by the twenty per cent rule, and the idea behind those long soft curves, is not lost, on the car designers.
I like watching metal work with the English Wheel. I looked at the comments to see how often his cigarette was mentioned. I'm happy to see people speaking up against smoking. I do have to say, he gets a lot of miles out of one smoke.
@lukedgee, Out of his depth? Geoff produces some of the finest work I have ever seen. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is second to none! The workshop full of jaguars, aston martins and lotus are show the quality of work he produces!
hello William, great video. I am booked in for my week-long course next monday, and am beyond excited. How are you getting on with your skillset today? I know you did your course back in 2013, correct?
William Longyard Did Geoff use 1050 aluminium for this work? Also, did he anneal it first? I've read that 1050 can be wheeled up without annealing but I'm sceptical about this. Thanks for the great vids :)
English wheeling will not cause the panel to work harden because it imparts gentle shape changes slowly. Hammering over a highly curved buck does sometimes cause aluminum to work harden, but it is a simple matter of re-annealing the panel and resume shaping. Very infrequently you might need to anneal, or even anneal twice during a shaping process.
If a rivet is used to pull the body down on to an understructure, the panel will warp and look ugly. The correct shape has to be put into the panel first. Thanks for your question! : )
can this english wheel machine make propeller fan fins for boats and how does this function when two spheres are used instead of two rollers for shaping the plate
Altough I admire M. Moss for his skills and knowledge, on this subject. I am sorry to say his workshop is a sorry mess. All the time his protegé is standing around, obviously to learn something. Start with learning to clean up the GDmnd place!!

Desde Chile......un verdadero artista.
You've got a great channel. Thanks for posting all of the excellent panel shaping vids.

The templates for plywood bucks available for sale on sights like Etsey
are a very great and affordable way to start metal shaping
Thank you so much for sharing - awesome demonstration.
Hi , thanks for share your job. What kind of material do you use ? Greetings from Argentina

Sir your job is excellent.

Sus vídeos son espectaculares pero mi pregunta es si sus vídeos se pueden configurar al idioma español o si tienen un link en español
moving metal is an art, ths guy knows the score he smokes rollies.
i'm an aspiring metal shaper and i smoke rollies too :)
smoking a cigarette gives you time to think about the problems ahead
trevor francis don't forget a cup of tea aswell ;)
trevor francis sorry, I forgot about the bevridges

Hi , thanks for share your job. Greetings from Albania.
How would you make sharp fold details like those in contemporary supercars?
Very good work
sensational
Does the metal become stretched to the point it becomes brittle, thus needs annealing or is this not a factor?

Thanks.
Can't you just get a close fit and rivet the panels to a truss understructure? Would that ruin the sleek aluminum look?

hello i want to know does English wheel work good on steel sheet metal can you help out on this
Yes

Jimmy, I believe that Luke is using irony to wind you up.
Wow you don't wanna end up with your fingers between that wheels haha

Jimmymc. He's not too bad at wheeling up I grant you, but im just not a big fan of these modern techniques.
very meticulous metalshaper!

Will this technique still work if my cigarette is hanging out of the right side of my mouth?
No 😀
Not work, Art!!!
