Learning the English Wheel - Paperback

by William H. Longyard (Author)

This book from Wolfgang Publications covers all aspects of English wheeling. Author William Longyard covers everything from making your own complete English wheel to learning the basics and beyond. From fabricating high-crown panels to reverse flares. Over 400 photos used through the book serve to illustrate both what makes up a good English wheel, and how - exactly - to use an English wheel. Those 400 photos illustrate a series of hands-on projects done for both hot rods as well as classic and vintage automobiles. Side bars and interviews with famous wheelers and fabricators from around the world help by giving personal insights. The craftsmen share tips that these masters have learned - during their decades of polishing the art of creating elaborate shapes from flat sheets of aluminum and steel.
