Despite the fact that thousands of English-wheel machines have been sold the past ten years, no book has been dedicated to English wheeling until now. Owners of these machines have been at a loss on how to really use them because of the lack of detailed published material. This new book from Wolfgang Publications covers all aspects of English wheeling: from making your own wheel to learning the basics and from fabricating high-crown panels to creating reverse flares. The photos used throughout the book illustrate what makes a good English wheel and exactly how to use an English wheel. Sidebars and interviews with famous wheelers and fabricators from around the world give personal insight from the best of the best. As a serious auto hobbyist, long-time English wheeler, published author, and retired shop teacher William Longyard is ideally suited to finally lift the veil of missing and incorrect information regarding the best and most productive use of the English wheel. Review: This is a very good book dedicated to the English wheel - This is a very good book dedicated to the English wheel, which usually gets a small section in most metal shaping books. While I have seen some of the material before in other books or videos, there is definitely a new twist on it here and it's the first time I've seen all this information gathered in one place. This is very well illustrated with color photos that clearly illustrate what the author is talking about in the text. I really liked that there were several chapters that followed expert metalworkers step-by-step as they worked on part of a larger project. This shows how one might apply some of the basic techniques shown in the book to an actual project. I am patiently waiting for desertcart to get Mr. Longyard's next book in stock. Review: Great book for those learning the English Wheel - This book is well written and gets you off to a really good start if you're learning the English Wheel. A second book with more in depth information would be fun but I think you just have to get in the shop and learn it on your own. Thanks, Bill!

A great start to learn the English Wheel technique
I bought this book for a friend of mine who's rebuilding my Harley using the English Wheel for some custom parts and he was very pleased and enthousiast about the book. He read the whole book in one night to absorb as much knowledge from it as possible and it brought him valuable information learning this great technique.

Livre de référence sur la roue anglaise
Etant débutant sur l'utilisation de la roue anglaise, j'ai acheté ce livre. Il permet vraiment de débuter et de donner toutes les connaissances de base pour faire les premières formes. Il est aussi destiné aux personnes déjà expérimentées. Attention : en anglais et il est important de bien lire et comprendre tous les textes.
