Proof of the Australian multicultural approach.

An American Barn in Australia, with an English Wheel (probably made in china) to help restore a German vehicle.

I had heaps of fun getting my head around how to use the english wheel.
Don't tell anyone, but I stuffed up my first sheet of metal with my very first go at the wheel. I used the wrong anvil (bottom small wheel) and creased the sheet beyond repair (laughing now, but not at the time.
Anyway, second attempt was much better and was very happy with the result!

Iam a bit disappointed your not smelting your own steel and rolling into sheets first as a grass roots approach...

A huge learning curve in the last few weeks with new tools I'm trying out.

I was blown away at what and english wheel can achieve.
We made a 3d curved panel at a tafe course i did. Woukd take a lot of skill to then turn that into a usable panel. So well done.

Hi all,

I'm looking at getting a rubber seal kit for the front doors.
Apart from CIP1 and bustop, can anyone suggest a site I can order a kit?
