Hi frankietools,

Welcome!

Sounds like a good project! Have you used an English wheel or will you be picking it up as you go? I've always wanted to learn that particular skill myself. Take a look through our English Wheels category - you're bound to find some good ideas there.

What sort of car are you restoring? Lots of car guys here; let's see some pics!

Welcome to the forums, frankietools! An English Wheel from surplus materials is certainly possible - though it may be best to use commercial contact wheels.
