Metalforming

I just built an English wheel to help shape the curved panels that will make up the flower petals and antennae all around the sculpture. The big anvil wheel and forming dies were purchased from England, but the frame and mechanical parts I made from scraps in the shop. Fun project to build a tool to make a fun project!

I’m a complete noob on the wheel, but that will change quickly; just need to watch a few youtube videos :)
