About this user

When I was growing up, about four or five years old, I started to build things, I liked creating something from nothing, or from something that another person had no use for. Around the age of eight, I got into working with metal, because my dad was always making something and his hobbies inspired

We had one problem, I could only bend a sheet of metal one way, like over a pipe or in a vise; 90 degrees or similar, and one of my first projects was to build an exhaust for my moped; two cones and a straight piece in between with a pipe on both ends. That was my starting introduction to Metal Shaping.

I learned to bend sheet metal but if I wanted to bend a sheet in three dimensions, I just couldn't do it. I could cut the piece and bend it, weld it and make it the best I could, but the result wasn't exactly what I wanted.

So at that time I said to myself, "there must be another way to do this instead of making dies and stamping the parts that I needed". That question stayed in my mind for a long time, and after many years of struggling, I saw a picture of an English Wheel in an English language hot rod magazine.

I understood then, that it was possible to shape the metal convex or concave, and that got me very excited. I built my first English Wheel and with a simple construction I began to shape the metal in 3D.

I could not read English at the time, and the magazine did not show photos of shaping the metal into a lumpy bag of potatoes with a hammer and then using the English wheel to smooth the lumpy piece of metal to the finished item.

My first result wasn't completely satisfying, but I thought that if I improved the wheel, I could get better results. So I developed a new version, and I felt that I was on the right track. Over many years I developed my English wheel metal shaping tool to what it is today; an outstanding tool after years of improvement.
